Pumpkin marmalade with ginger

Pumpkin is not the most obvious recipe for jam. But it has two advantages: firstly, the pumpkin has enough of its own sugar, and secondly, it easily accepts all the tastes with which you "marry" it. In this recipe, ginger adds astringency to the marmalade, and lemon adds citrus notes. In general, it is very similar to the orange marmalade that the British love so much. But pumpkin is cheaper than oranges. And the taste of pumpkin marmalade is more intriguing. Ideal for morning toast.
