The balance of ingredients showcases the vegetal sweetness of in-season squash without overwhelming it with baking spices.

  • 3 Pound Sugar Pumpkin (Halved Lengthwise & Seeded)
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 Cup Apple Cider
  • 1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Grated Fresh Nutmeg
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Brush cut sides of pumpkin halves with oil. Arrange pumpkin halves, cut side down, on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in oven and bake for 50 minutes until very tender when pierced with fork. Remove from oven, and let cool 10 minutes.
  3. Scoop flesh from cooled pumpkin. Transfer to food processor. Throw away pumpkin shell. Add apple cider and process 1 minute until smooth. Add brown sugar, honey, vinegar, cinnamon, ginger, kosher salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Process 20 seconds until smooth. Be sure to scrape down sides as needed.
  4. Transfer pumpkin mixture to medium-size saucepan. Turn heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Cook 25 minutes stirring occasionally to make sure bottom of saucepan doesn’t scorch. You’ll want mixture to reduce by one-third and turn a slightly darker color.
