Cómo preparar Dulces De Calabasas Mexican Pumpkin Candy

  1. In a large pot, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. Use a candy thermometer to ensure it reaches the desired setting.
  4. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. Lightly grease a baking sheet or similar flat surface.
  6. Pour the cooled pumpkin mixture onto the prepared surface and spread it evenly to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Allow the candy to cool completely and set for at least 1200 minutes (20 hours) at room temperature, or until firm. This extended cooling time is crucial for achieving the desired texture.
  8. Once completely set, cut the candy into small squares or diamonds using a sharp knife.
  9. Enjoy your homemade Dulces de Calabaza! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
