Pumpkin and ginger jam

Hello everyone! 

Today I want to talk about a tasty recipe with autumn flavors: pumpkin and ginger jam.


Found on blog.giallozafferano.it


Needless to say, this is a particular jam, with a sweet and pungent taste, and above all the innumerable benefits!

Pumpkin is a truly exceptional food, low in calories, rich in vitamins and very useful for reducing free radicals and promoting intestinal regularity. Ginger is an excellent remedy against nausea and poor digestion, keeps blood sugar and cholesterol at bay, helps the immune system and is perfect to combat sore throats and colds!

So I thought that a recipe based on these two ingredients could be a great ally to meet the cold winter days!
