Pumpkin Konfyt
R55.00
This unusual, sweet preserve is served with hot tea or coffee all around the old Ottoman Empire, from Morocco to Lebanon. It is a classic preserve, with chunks of crunchy, fragrant, sweet, pumpkin in a ginger syrup, with just a hint of sour to cut through the spicy sweetness.
At Wickedfood Earth Country Cooking School we produce three different Pumpkin konfyts:
- Plain Pumpkin Konfyt, with orange peel and ginger;
- Spicy Pumpkin Konfyt, with orange peel, ginger, Middle Eastern spices and a hint of chilli;
- Pumpkin Konfyt with Chilli, with orange peel, ginger, spices and a good dose of chilli for those who like it hot.

- Mix it into a roast pumpkin and beetroot salad, with toasted pumpkin seeds;
- Fold a little finely chopped Konfyt into the filling of pumpkin or ricotta ravioli;
- Use the spicy or chilli Pumpkin Konfyt for a delicious dip – cube and fold into equal quantities of smooth cottage and mayonnaise;
- Use the syrup to glaze Xmas gammon or Kastler chops.
- Sliced thin, it is perfect on a bacon, lettuce and cheese sandwich.
