We made this recipie because I bought a pumpkin at the farmer's market and didn't want to make it into pie, or anything that could have easily been accomplished with canned pumpkin. I like this recipie, but it is pretty sweet. If you like your marmalade to be less sweet, consider using a lemon or two in place of or along with the orange when you make this recipie.
Ingredients:
for each pound of pumpkin:
1/2 orange
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. powdered ginger
Peel and remove seeds from pumpkin and cut into chunks. Peel the orange and thinly slice the rind. In a large pot bring the water and sugar to a boil, then lower the heat and stir until it starts to thicken. Add the pumpkin and orange rind and simmer for about 90 minutes, or until the pumpkin starts to get really soft and translucent. Then add the rest of the orange (thinly sliced with pits removed) and the ginger and simmer for 15 minutes more. Put it into jars and enjoy!
