Ingredients
- ½ Kent pumpkin, peeled and cut into 6 cm wedges, then those wedges halved across the middle
- 500 g brown sugar
- 200 g white sugar
- 1 litre water
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- 4 slices ginger
- 1 pandan leaf
- 400 ml coconut cream
- ½ tsp salt
- lime wedges, to serve
Cooling time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- Combine the pumpkin, sugars, water, cinnamon and ginger in a large heavy-based saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover with a cartouche and leave the lid open a crack and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the pumpkin is very tender and the liquid has reduced to a syrup. If the liquid has not reduced to a syrup by the time the pumpkin is tender, gently remove the pumpkin and continue to cook before returning pumpkin to cool to room temperature in the syrup.
- In a separate small saucepan, bring the coconut cream to a simmer with the pandan leaf and salt, then allow to cool to room temperature as well.
- Serve the pumpkin with the salted coconut pandan cream, spiced syrup and a wedge of lime.
