Caramelized pumpkin in the oven. Spicy pumpkin with caramelized walnuts pumpkin caramel baked in the oven

Sometimes you want to eat some product because of its incredible benefits, but the taste does not really like, so you have to find an alternative. For example, pumpkin and pumpkin in caramel - two opposite of different products, and the second option is preparing enough simple and quickly. Pumpkin, soaked with sugar syrup and citrus flavor, simply melts in the mouth, and the hand stretches for the next portion. By the way, the children will be glad to such a good house - take note.

To prepare pumpkins in caramel, you will need a small amount of ingredients, so you hardly forget something - rather, you can add something else.

Pumpkin needs to be washed and cleaned with a large sharp knife, then cut the flesh into small pieces of any form - as you like more. I like ordinary cubes.

Lemon need to wash. If you bake it along with the skin, then you can pre-fold it, and then cut into small pieces.

Baking shape You need to lubricate a piece of butter or drop a bit of vegetable, then lay out pieces of pumpkin, lemon and sugar sugar top, and then add a pair of pinch of cinnamon.

Send shape with a pumpkin in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake minutes 20-25. Watch that pumpkin and caramel do not start burning.

Before serving the vegetable, you need to cool down, but the pumpkin can be caramel right away until it (caramel you mean) not frozen. Pumpkin in caramels can be built with tea or add it to any desserts, baking - it turns out incredibly tasty.

Pleasant tea drinking!

I usually buy a pumpkin, somehow never we nor relatives, nor friends grown up. And this year, brother and wife brought us a "small" surprise, this mom's mother brother handed to my son in honor of his "receipt" to kindergarten.

In my opinion, just a great gift. After all, pumpkin is a very useful berry. It contains a huge amount of valuable substances. For example, carotene in the pumpkin is contained 5 times more than in carrots, so many ophthalmologists and recommend using pumpkin to people with violation. Also, it can be called the champion among vegetables on the content of iron. Pumpkin is valuable for the prevention of the work of the kidneys and the liver. The pulp of her fruit improves the operation of the gastrointestinal tract, removes excess water, slags and bad cholesterol from the body. You can talk a lot about the useful and therapeutic properties of this berry-vegetable, but in the raw form you eat it somehow I don't really want, and why, when there are many pumpkin dishes, delicious and not very. Well, closer to business.

For this uncomplicated dessert, we will need:

1 kg of purified pumpkin,

0.5 glasses of sugar,

1 large (1.5 small) lemon.

Pumpkin we clean from the peel and seeds, cut the cubes of approximately 2 cm.

With lemon remove the peel (throw away, of course, it is not necessary, you can, for example, brew a seagull) and cut into small cubes.

Pumpkin lay out into the form, add sugar and lemon.

We mix all, cover with a lid, if there is, or foil and send to the oven, preheated to 175 degrees for 30 minutes.

We take out, mix and send it into the oven, only no longer covered.

My pumpkin was ready for another 20 minutes.

As I said, my pumpkin is not covered with caramel crust, but simply "floats" in a delicious sour sweet sauce, but I even like it. Perhaps, if you add more sugar, the result would be punched, but it seems to me that it will be too sweet, and so everything is moderately, pieces of pumpkin are soaked with this sauce and acquire an already not pumpkin taste. Son flies these pumpkin slices for the cute soul, both with sauce, and without him. And today, for example, he watched him Kashka with this sauce, during illness, like many children, he refuses meals, but not in this case.

For the preparation of this dessert, there will be no very many ingredients: pumpkin, walnuts, olive herbs, sugar and butter.Tykvyi clean from the peel and cut into circles whose thickness is not more than 1 cm.
Pumpkin mugs to lubricate with oil, sprinkle with spicy herbs, put in a lubricated oil form for baking and send to the oven, heated to 180 degrees, for 20-25 minutes.

Dry frying pan. At the hot frying pan, sugar sugar and wait for it when it turns into caramel (not needed to stir and mix).

Walnuts are slightly crushed, add to the pan with caramel and mix.

One baked pumpkin circle lay out on a plate.

Top lay out some caramelized nuts (it is necessary to do it quickly until caramel froze).

Repeat layers, alternating pumpkin and nuts, to the desired height. Top layer - caramelized nuts. Appetizing, bright, delicious dessert is ready. Be sure to try, because the spicy pumpkin is perfectly combined with nuts in caramel.

Autumn - pumpkin season. Every year at this time our refrigerator is just scored pumpkin.

How to cook pumpkin in lemon caramel, step-by-step recipe with photo:

Step 1. First you need to wash the pumpkin and carefully clean it from seeds.

Seeds, by the way, can not be thrown away, but to dry in the oven at a temperature of 100-120 degrees and then they will become useful and tasty snack!

Step 2. Pumpkin Cleaning from the peel and cut into small cubes of approximately 1x1 cm.

Before you start cooking, make sure that the pumpkin is ripe, otherwise you just can't cut it. Ripe pumpkin has a bright orange shade and cutting it is quite simple as cheese.

Step 3. In the heat-resistant dishes mix the pumpkin with sugar (sugar can be added to taste if the fruit of pumpkin itself is sweet, extraneous sweeteners may not be needed).

Step 4. The lemon is cleaned from the peel (there is all bitterness in it) and cut into small cubes.

It is thanks to the lemon taste of pumpkins will not be so apparent and at high temperatures of lemon juice and sugar will create that very caramel.

Step 5. In the container to pumpkin and sugar, add a finely chopped lemon and send it all into the oven under the cover of the oven by 1.5 - 2 hours.

The baking time depends on the ripeness of the pumpkin, as soon as it became soft and syrup formed in the dishes, flipped out, reveal the cover of the dish and let it be covered with a crust in a preheated oven for another 10 minutes.

Step 6. The finished pumpkin in the lemon caramel before using it is better to cool, so syrup will have time to thicken and this dessert will become even more refined and unusual!
