1 good-sized pumpkin
2 lbs. sugar
2 lemons
5-6 pieces ginger root or 2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt

Peel the pumpkin and scoop out the inside. Discard the rind and seeds. Cut the flesh into cubes. Measure out 3 quarts of pumpkin cubes into a bowl, add the sugar and let stand overnight.

Next morning, there will be a lot of juice. Take out the pumpkin fruit and set aside. Add to the juice the lemons (seeded and cut up, rind and all), ginger and salt. Boil this mixture hard, adding the pumpkin fruit slowly as it boils. Cook until the pumpkin is clear. Pour and seal. Wonderful on hot toast.
