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
2
grated rind from 2 lemons
1 cup
Water
9 c.
Sliced Pumpkin
2 1/8 c.
Sugar
¼ c.
Grand Marnier
How to Make Pumpkin Preserves with Grand Marnier Directions
Peel & seed pumpkin.
Processor slice the pumpkin.
Add 1 1/8 c. sugar.
Cook slowly, stirring constantly until all the sugar is melted & the pumpkin is mostly cooked
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.
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.
