So I am in the throes of pureeing winter squash, dehydrating and buzzing up the dehydrated squash to make pumpkin dust for use over the winter. I still have a few squash left. So fast forward; I was watching a young Siberian girl who grated pumpkin, added sugar, lemon and orange rind and the juice of both. She cooked it down and canned it. So, I looked up pumpkin marmalade, and it is indeed a thing. I am definitely going to try this with one of my winter squashes. Has anyone else heard of this or tried it? Definitely piqued my interest.
I may try over the weekend. I need a few oranges. Of course her video did not have measurements, but there are several online. I just loved watching her make do.. She had some currants and just smashed them with the same juice glass she measured her sugar in. We have so many gadgets, and although nice to have, really unnecessary

Lisa, I too am curious how it will taste. I have never heard of it before. Let us know what you think once you make it.

The French make this too. Adding orange plus its zest must allow them to water bath canning. Also they add the orange liquor Cointreau. I am going to try this.
