INGREDIENTS
- ½ pounds butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, unsweetened
- 2 cup caster sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
- 3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Soften the pumpkin cubes in milk. In a medium-heavy pot, combine coconut milk and butternut squash.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes until the butternut squash or pumpkin can be easily pierced with a fork. Initially, it might seem like there's insufficient liquid, but as the butternut squash cooks, it will release its juices.
- Make the pumpkin puree mixture. Once the fully cooked, remove the pot from heat and blend until you achieve a smooth puree. Add sugar, shredded coconut, and lemon juice.
- Thicken the mixture. Return the mixture to the stovetop over medium heat, allowing it to gently boil.
- Simmer without the lid for 7 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Serve and enjoy! Divide the mixture between jars while it's still hot. Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
