Pumpkin Dessert Tips & Tricks

– When making pumpkin dessert at home, the first thing you should pay attention to achieve a successful result is to lay over your pumpkin in sugar.

– This process causes your pumpkins to release their juice. Thus, you do not need to add water to the pot while cooking the dessert. Your dessert can be cooked easily with the juice of pumpkins. Making the sugar deposit the night before the day you cook the dessert will save you time.

– You can cook your dehydrated pumpkins either in a pot on the stove or in the oven. It will be delicious in any way. However, pumpkin dessert cooked in a pot is lighter in color and has a more juicy consistency. The pumpkin dessert cooked in the oven is dehydrated, the fruits are caramelized, and the color turns brown. You can get the same caramelization effect when you bake your pumpkin for 15 minutes by transferring it to a tray, sprinkling some more granulated sugar on it after cooking it in a pot.
