Ingredients:

  • 1 quart pumpkin meat; fresh cut into 1- inch pieces
  • 2 1/2 cups water

Directions:

  1. Place the cubed pumpkin in a saucepan and cover it with water, about 2 to 2-1/2 cups.
  2. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, uncovered, until the pumpkin is just tender.
  3. Remove the pumpkin with a slotted spoon. There should be about 1-1/2 cups of liquid remaining.
  4. Add the brown or maple sugar and dissolve over low heat.
  5. Place the pumpkin pieces back in the pan and bring slowly back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Let the pumpkin pieces stand in the syrup overnight.
  7. The next day, bring the mixture back to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the pumpkin pieces from the syrup and spread them out on a wire rack so the pieces are not touching one another.
  9. Let them stand in a 140F oven for 3 to 4 hours to dry.
  10. Roll each piece in the maple sugar, and store them in a dry, cool place.
  11. Do not stack or crowd the candy together.
