Pumpkin compote for pineapple for the winter: we surprise loved ones with a delicious preparation

The main pearl in the necklace on the neck of the generous beauty of autumn can rightfully be considered a pumpkin. The bright fruits have a delicate flavor and are a powerful vitamin bomb that we all need in winter. To enjoy the wonderful berry throughout the cold season, pumpkin is harvested for the winter. Today we will talk about a wonderful pumpkin compote for pineapple.

A step-by-step recipe for a pineapple pumpkin compote for the winter

Every spring my father sowed pumpkin seeds in his garden. And in autumn we collected huge, sun-warmed, bright fruits. The harvest was always generous, so we distributed some of the berries to friends and acquaintances, hid some pumpkins in the cellar for the winter, and used the rest to prepare various delicious dishes. Most often, pumpkins were cut into large chunks and baked in the oven with sugar or honey. Sometimes they added grated pumpkin pulp to sweet millet porridge. Once at a party, I tasted a pumpkin treat that I loved from the first spoon. Frankly, at first I did not understand what exactly the owners of the house offered as a dessert. In the bowls lay amber cubes of either fruit or vegetable, and their taste was very reminiscent of pineapple. As it turned out, an ordinary pumpkin harvested for the winter according to a special recipe is very similar to an exotic fruit.

Ingredients:

• 2 kg of pumpkin pulp;
• 400 g granulated sugar;
• 3 tbsp. l. 9% vinegar;
• 2 liters of water;
• 2 bags of vanilla sugar.

Cooking steps:

1. Peel and seed the pumpkin.

   

   For the preparation of compote, pumpkin pulp is used without peel and seeds

2. Cut the fruit pulp into neat cubes or wedges.

   

   Neat cubes or sticks look very appetizing

3. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar, and stir well to dissolve all crystals.

   

   Vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanilla or vanilla essence

4. Pour vinegar into the sugar syrup.

5. Put the chopped pulp in a saucepan with boiling liquid, reduce heat and cook the compote until the pumpkin is soft.

   

   Cooking time for compote depends on the type of pumpkin

6. Place the compote in sterilized jars, cover with sterile lids and roll up.

7. Turn the jars over, wrap them in a blanket or towel and leave to cool.

   

   Turning the jars upside down with the lid, check the thoroughness of the sealing of the compote

8. Store your workpieces in a cellar or cool pantry.
