Simple and Sweet Pumpkin Treat

Simple and Sweet Pumpkin Treat

Here's a simple and sweet pumpkin treat submitted to us by our part-time clerk Maria Hernandez!

Ingredients 

Pumpkin (2.5 lbs)
2 cups of sugar

Directions

Wash the outside of the pumpkin (just to be safe!)
Remove and rinse the pumpkin seeds and set them aside.
Cut the pumpkin into chunks of about 2 inches (5 cm) and place them in a pot.
Add the pumpkin seeds and let it cook for 30 minutes or until tender.
The pumpkin is going to release its water so drain it, add the sugar and let it caramelize.
Once it cools, enjoy it with milk!
