Then pour the pumpkin pieces into a saucepan, pour in syrup, add lemon zest and a cinnamon stick, also put on the stove

After boiling, cook the pieces with constant stirring for 5 minutes, then cover with a lid and cool completely. We repeat the procedure 3-4 times, but if the pumpkin is very ripe, then 2 times is enough, the main thing is that the vegetable pieces are completely saturated with syrup, but at the same time they do not boil, but keep their shape

After that, put the pumpkin on a sieve and let the syrup drain. We do not pour out the syrup itself, but pour it into a bottle and store it in the refrigerator. It can be used as an impregnation for a biscuit, and it is also very tasty to eat pancakes or pancakes with it
