Marmellata di Zucca Invernale

• 1 kg (2¼ lb) of winter pumpkin, peeled and sliced into segments and neatly cubed
• 750

Make a thin syrup with the sugar and water and the lemon slices, boiling it up in a shallow pan to the point where a drop will adhere to a wooden spoon. Only then throw in the pumpkin cubes. After ¼ hour of vigorous boiling add the mostarda and a few of its chopped fruits (plum, fig, pear, peach, cherry). Boil for a few more minutes. Put into small jars when cool and cover when cold.
