How to make pumpkin compote with orange

We will prepare all the necessary ingredients. Cut the pumpkin in half, peel it of a hard peel, remove all seeds from it and remove the fibers. Cut the pulp of the pumpkin into medium-sized pieces.

Boil pumpkin syrup. Pour sugar into a saucepan, pour it with clean water and bring to a boil. Put the chopped pumpkin in a pan and bring it to a boil again. Cook the pumpkin over medium heat until it becomes soft.

Wash the orange well and wipe it dry. Remove the zest from the orange, peel the white film and divide into slices. Cut the orange slices into medium slices.

Add the oranges to the pumpkin pan and cook for another 10 minutes.

We pour hot compote into banks that have been sterilized in advance, close or twist with sterilized lids. Turn the cans over and wrap them in a warm blanket until they cool completely. The cooled compote is moved to a cool place.
