Mexican Pumpkin In Brown Sugar Recipes
DULCES DE CALABASAS (MEXICAN PUMPKIN CANDY)
This is the stuff you get by the cash register at Mexican restaurants or in little Mexican grocery stores. It's been one of my favorites since I was, oh, 6 or 7 and got some at Olviera Street. I add the cinnamon and cloves because I like it spicy, but traditionally it's just pumpkin and sugar. Really labor-intensive, but so worth it! Do not use carving pumpkins, use sugar-pie or other cooking pumpkins (which the computer does not recognize.) Cook time is for unattended resting time.

Steps:
- Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds and as much of the "stringy stuff" as you can, and chop into pieces approximately 1-1.5 inches by 1.5-2.5 inches.
- Slice off skin, taking off as little flesh as you can.
- Measure to make sure you have approximately one quart of pumpkin pieces (either pack well into a measuring cup or fill a calibrated 1/2 gallon or 1 gallon measure to the quart line and drop in pieces until water hits the 1/2 gallon line, then drain water.).
- Put in a fairly heavy saucepan and cover with water.
- Cover, bring to a boil, and boil for 15-20 minutes.
- Drain, but save water, and place pumpkin back in pan.
- Measure water to make sure you have about 1 1/2 cups.
- Stir in packed brown sugar until smooth. Add cloves and/or cinnamon at this point, if desired.
- Pour the sugar/water syrup over the pumpkin, cover, return to a boil, and boil another 15 minutes.
- Turn off heat and let sit overnight (at least 8 hours.) This is how the pumpkin soaks up the syrup and "candies".
- In the morning (or after the 8-10 hours), return to a boil, and boil an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from syrup with a slotted spoon and place on a tray or cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
- Allow to dry at least 10-12 hours in a place where it will not be disturbed (if you're not going to be using the oven and haven't had it on recently, the cold oven is a great place to keep it safe.).
- Roll in granulated sugar and enjoy! Place in air-tight container to store up to two weeks.

MEXICAN PUMPKIN IN BROWN SUGAR
I'm posting this recipe for ZWT5, it comes from "Taste Of Mexico", by Elisabeth Ortiz, and is listed in the Desserts section, tho in South Africa we might have this as a vegetable side dish! I'm guessing at the actual cooking time, based on how long it normally would take me to cook pumpkins, and how much pumpkin being cooked. Cooks Tip: the best pumpkin for this recipe is the classic orange-fleshed variety used to make Halloween lanterns.

Steps:
- Scrape the seeds out of the pumpkin wedges.
- Pack the wedges together in a heavy-based flameproof casserole.
- Divide the sugar among the pumpkin pieces, packing it into the hollows which contained the seeds.
- Pour the water carefully into the casserole, to cover the bottom and prevent the pumpkin from burning. Take care not to dislodge the sugar when pouring in the water.
- Cover and cook over a low heat, checking the water level frequently, until the pumpkin is tender and the sugar has dissolved in the liquid to form a sauce.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pumpkin to a serving dish.
- Pour the sugary liquid from the pan over the pumpkin, and serve at once with natural yoghurt, sweetened with a little brown sugar if you like.
