My Welcome to Maine Fall Pumpkin Jam

Ingredients:
pumpkin, raw
apricots, dried, sulfured, uncooked
raisins, seeded
sugars, granulated
lemon juice, raw
pumpkin, raw
spices, ginger, ground

Directions:
If using fresh pumpkin, peel, remove seeds, cut into 2-3" chunks and place in large pot with enough water to prevent scorching.
I use approximately 1/2 cup of water.
When soft, mash and sieve pumpkin to make a puree of the pumpkin.
If watery, gently simmer to evaporate much of this water.
Add sugar and allow to stand for 12 hours.
Cut apricots into eighths, approximately the size of your raisins.
Add raisins, apricots lemon juice, and spices to pumpkin which has stood with sugar.
Cook slowly on medium heat until the mixture is thickened.
Seal, and process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.
