Instructions

1
Peel and deseed the pumpkin and cut it into cubes of about 2 cm. Rinse the jars and lids with boiling water and let them dry.
2
Bring the vinegar, water, sugar and spices to a boil in a pot, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
3
Add the pumpkin cubes to the brine and simmer over medium heat until just tender but not soft.
4
Lift the pumpkin into the prepared jars with a slotted spoon, top up with the hot brine until everything is covered, and seal at once.
5
Let the jars cool and rest in the fridge for at least two days before the first taste.
