Muraba-E-Kadu (Pumpkin Jam)

Ingredients

Step 1: Remove the skin of the pumpkin. Also remove the inner seeds.
Step 2: Cut the flesh into 2cm cubes.
Step 3: Take the zest off the oranges, with as little pith as possible, and cut into matchstick-sized strips.
Step 4: Extract the juice from the oranges. Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and reserve.
Step 5: Place the pumpkin, orange juice, orange strips, sugar and whole cardamom pod seeds in a large pan, mix well and leave to marinate for about 10 hours or overnight. Stir occasionally.
Step 6: Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has thickened and become syrupy. This can take about an hour or a little bit longer.
Step 7: Leave to cool then place in clean, dry jars. Enjoy!
