So, a couple of hours later, the pumpkin, maple syrup and honey mixture was apparently cooked. In their recipe book Nick&Johnny said it was possible to store the pumpkin like this, but it was better blended. They listed the uses ofthis marvellous confection, so I blended it.
And then I potted it up. All that stuff and it really did only make just over 3 pounds of product. I was wincing as I bottled it up, thinking how sweet it smelled, and how sugary it would be (and this is from someone who occasionally as a treat eats condensed milk from a tin in the fridge).
As I bottled the last of it, I thought I had better try some. I put some on a teaspoon and braced myself. It wasn't bad. It was very sweet, but not at all sugary as I had feared. (Too sweet for friend Kevin though, I think).
I bet it would be even better if I used ordinary pumplin instead of Marmello.
I might try some on my toast this morning.
