Pumpkin jam with ginger
3 servings
120 minutes
Ginger goes great with fruits - it doesn't dampen their natural flavor, but gives them the necessary liveliness that everyone needs in the cold season. You can use regular lemon, or Uzbek lemon - the kind that smells a little like Christmas trees. And an important point: this recipe was invented specifically for butternut squash with its slightly nutty aroma.
