Before you try our pumpkin jam recipe, you may be wondering which variety of pumpkin is best for it? As a rule, you can use any variety that is edible, depending on your taste. However, our favorite are Hokkaido or butternut squash, as they have a non-fibrous and very compact flesh and are much easier to process. Stored in a cool, dark place, pumpkin jam will last for around 3-4 months. However, it is very important that the jars are clean and properly sterilized.
