When I was still wonder how am i going to do with my pumpkin, Ann from Anncoo Journal posted her healthy yummy Pumpkin Yakult Jam! I'm happy to give it a try as I have yakult in my fridge but the yakult here only have two types, one is original and one is low fat yakult.
So I decided to add one orange juice into the yakult liquid to make up that 200ml. I'm using brown sugar as I don't have white sugar in hands. This is my first time making jam and I'm so glad that I give Ann's recipe a try as my son loves it so much! The jam is creamy and yummy with that natural citrus pumpkin flavour! Thanks Ann for the recipe!
Ingredients:
350g pumpkin (Butternut)
200ml yakult + one orange juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
Method:
1. Steam pumpkin with skin on until soften, scoop the pumpkin fresh out with spoon. Blend the pumpkin to smooth. (Ann mentioned in her post the net weight should be 250g! I overlook this, I just used all my pumpkin)2. Combine blended pumpkin, yakult, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan, stir well and bring to boil. Lower the heat and keep stirring until the pumpkin mixture thicken. About 20~25 mins.
3. Pour jam into a container, let it cool down before keep in fridge.
