If you want to taste the perfect dessert delicacy, you can try this recipe. It’s easy to make and with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sugar
  • 2 pounds pumpkin
  • Pistachio or walnuts for garnish

Directions

1Slice the pumpkin in the size you like. Wash them well and clean their seeds and chop them big. Put them in a large pot by adding sugar between each line

 

2Put its lid on and wait it overnight, at least 6 hours. During this time, pumpkin pieces release their juice, so we don’t need to add extra water while boiling it

 

3Put the pot on the medium heat and cook the pumpkin pieces until they get soft. Bring it to boil a few times without the lid on. In this way, the syrup of it will be denser. Then let it cool in the same pot

4After they are cold enough, wait it in the refrigerator for a while. Then serve it cold

 

5If you like, you can garnish it with some pistachio, walnut or coconut
