Ingredients:
500 g pumpkin, juice of ½ lemon, 100 g sugar (or 75 g agave syrup), 7 g agar-agar

Peel the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, and bake or boil it until soft.
If you boiled it, be sure to drain the water.
Blend the pumpkin with lemon juice and sugar until smooth.
Pour the puree into a saucepan, add the agar-agar, and cook for 4 minutes.
Pour the mixture into molds or an oiled dish.
Let it cool – and enjoy!
The marmalade turns out a sunny orange, delicate, and fragrant. It’s the perfect alternative to store-bought sweets, adding a touch of summer warmth to those chilly days.
