Let’s get started!
1
Cut the pumpkin into two halves. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and the stringy flesh from the center of each pumpkin half.
2
With the seeds removed, cut each pumpkin half into wedges and then slice each in half. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin.
3
Place them in a large pot. Pour sugar evenly over the pumpkin slices. Cover the pot and let them sit for 5-6 hours.
4
During this time, the pumpkin will release its juice. You can add a cinnamon stick and a few cloves at this step.
5
Bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until they are tender but not mushy. The juice will become syrupy as it simmers.
