Step 1: You will need

  • 1 kg butternut squash, peeled & cubed
  • 600 g sugar
  • 1 orange, for juice
  • 1 lemon, for juice
  • 2 cloves
  • 200 ml water
  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spoon
  • 1 glass jar

Step 2: Prepare the marmalade

Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat.

Put the chunks of butternut squash into the saucepan. Add the sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, water, and the cloves.

Bring the marmalade to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. It will take about forty-five minutes until the squash is totally cooked.

Step 3: Remove the cloves

Remove the cloves and stir vigorously to break up the squash. Now take the pan off the heat.

Step 4: Bottle the marmalade

Transfer the marmalade to a clean glass jar while it is still hot. It will last for several months if stored properly.
