Baked Pumpkin Jam With Cinnamon And Ginger Recipes

Steps:

• For the crumb crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Wrap the bottom of the pan in foil to prevent leaking. Combine the sugar, salt, 8 of the gingersnap cookies and the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Drizzle in the butter and continue pulsing until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand. Pour the mixture into the pan and push into the base and halfway up the sides using a glass with straight edges.
• Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, and then let cool completely while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Stir together the pumpkin, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, eggs, banana, egg white and milk in a large bowl. Pour the filling into the baked crumb crust and bake for about 50 minutes. Let cool completely while you make the ginger whipped cream.
• For the ginger whipped cream: Whip the cream with the sugar until soft peaks form using a hand mixer. Fold in the ginger.
• Run a thin knife around the edge of the pie to release it from the pan. Load the whipped cream into a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe rosettes around the perimeter of the pie and decorate with the 8 remaining gingersnap cookies.
• Cook's Note: Make sure you use a piping bag with a large star tip so the ginger bits in the whipped cream don't clog the tip.

Steps:

• Stir pumpkin and sugar together in a saucepan. Cover and let stand, 8 hours to overnight.
• Place unpeeled lemon wedges in a food processor; puree until smooth.
• Place pumpkin and sugar mixture in the saucepan over high heat. Stir in lemon and ginger. Bring to a rolling boil; cook, stirring frequently, until pumpkin is translucent but still holds its shape, about 30 minutes. Mash to desired consistency.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add jars and lids and boil for 5 minutes. Pack pumpkin mixture into hot jars and cover with lids. Let cool, then refrigerate and use within a month.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. 2. In a medium, heavy-bottom fry pan heated over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion. Gently cook until the onion caramelizes, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and continue to cook until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger and thyme sprigs. Finally, stir in the chopped pumpkin. 3. Place the pumpkin mixture in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Bake the pumpkin until it is tender and slightly caramelized, 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. 4. While the pumpkin is baking, prepare the couscous according to the manufacturer's instructions. 5. To serve, mound the couscous in the center of a large platter and garnish with the pumpkin.
