Sweet Pumpkin Pickles

 

6 cups prepared pumpkin

2 cups white vinegar

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large cinnamon sticks

 

Place pumpkin cubes in a colander. Set over boiling water. Make sure water

does not touch pumpkin. Cover and steam until just tender, approximately 5

to 7 minutes. Drain. Simmer vinegar, sugar and cinnamon for 15 minutes. Add

pumpkin and simmer for 3 minutes. Set aside for 24 hours. Heat and simmer 5

minutes more. Remove cinnamon sticks. Pack boiling hot in hot clean canning

jars, leaving 1/2 inch headroom. Adjust lids and process in hot water bath

for 10 minutes. Yields 3 pints.
