I mentioned last night that we had pumpkin jam here and shirley asked for the recipe so here it is

Pumpkin Jam
Ingredients
5 pounds fresh or canned pumpkin
1 pound dried apricots
1 pound seedless raisins
2-1/2 pounds sugar

Instructions
If fresh pumpkin is used, peel, remove seeds, and cut into cubes. Cook pumpkin, mash and sieve. Mix in sugar and let stand for 12 hours. Wash and cut apricots into pieces the size of raisins and add to the pumpkin. Add raisins, lemon juice, and ginger. Cook slowly until the mixture is thick. Seal, and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.
