Pumpkin Trivia: If you are having trouble falling asleep, try eating some pumpkin seeds before bedtime. They contain tryptophan. Your body converts this amino acid to serotonin which then turns into melatonin. Then, you’ll sleep like a baby.

Pumpkin Preserves with Grand Marnier Ingredients

2grated rind from 2 lemons
1 cupWater
9 c.Sliced Pumpkin
2 1/8 c.Sugar
¼ c.Grand Marnier
Cinderella Pumpkin

How to Make Pumpkin Preserves with Grand Marnier Directions

  1. Peel & seed pumpkin.
  2. Processor slice the pumpkin.
  3. Add 1 1/8 c. sugar.
  4. Cook slowly, stirring constantly until all the sugar is melted & the pumpkin is mostly cooked
  5. If it gets too dry, add 1/4 c. sugar and 1/4 c. water until the extra cup of sugar and 1 c. of water is used. This should take about 2 hours.
  6. At the end, add 1/4 c. Grand Marnier.

You may also eliminate the Grand Marnier, or you can add chopped macadamia or pistachio nuts to the plain or Grand Marnier Pumpkin jam.

Important Caution: Do not leave out the grated rind from 2 lemons. Safe canning requires a pH of under 4.6 and pumpkins are 5.0, as are carrots. For this reason, lemon, lemon rinds, or lime and lime rinds which have a pH of 2.2 and 2.0 respectively are usually added to bring the combined pH into the safety zone. Do not alter recipes unless you understand the significance of pH in a safely canned product.
