Ingredients
  • 2 kg Pumpkin
  • 1 kg Cooking Apples
  • 250 g Sultanas
  • 1 Orange
  • 1 Lemon
  • 5 pt Water
  • 1.5 kg Demerara Sugar
Instructions
  1. Peel and deseed the pumpkin. Roughly dice into large chunks and place into a large pan.
  2. Peel and core the apples. Roughly dice into large chunks and place into the pan with the apples.
  3. Add the sultanas and water to the pan.
  4. Grate the peel from the orange and lemon into the pan. Juice both and add this too.
  5. Place the lid on the pan and bring to the boil. Cook until all the fruit is soft.
  6. Taking care to avoid splashes, blend the contents of the pan until a smooth puree with no lumps is obtained. If necessary, allow the contents to cool before attempting this.
  7. Add the sugar to the mix and bring back to the boil without the pan lid. Allow the mix to boil vigorously until the setting point ( 105 °C ).
  8. Prewarm jars with boiling water. Fill jars, fit lids and allow to cool upside down to form a full seal.
