Berry and fruit jam have long become familiar on our tables. When once again I wanted something new, I decided to try to cook it from the pumpkin. I share a recipe and result! A real find for long autumn and winter evenings.
Even the ancient Mayan tribes willingly prepared pumpkin dishes. In Mexico, it began to grow it as a full -fledged economic culture, and from there it spread through other corners of the planet. But the pumpkin came to Europe later - to the 16th century, presumably thanks to the Persian merchants. Now they grow several main types of pumpkin, each of which has dozens of varieties.
The degree of sweetness and taste generally depends on a specific variety - on almost fresh to dessert ones. For the preparation of pumpkin dishes, table varieties are used - cultural and wild. The stern is given to animals, the decorative is grown for the sake of a dense crust, from which even musical instruments are made. The largest fruits are reduced by large -fruited pumpkin, common in the south.
And the most sweet and fragrant remains nutty with its bright orange pulp. Pumpkin dishes cannot be counted. It is consumed fresh, boiled, fried, stewed and baked. She goes to cream-soups and mashed potatoes, cereals and desserts, can be a side dish or an independent main dish. Even seeds and pumpkin flowers go to food!
