🧂 Ingredients

1 Cut the pumpkin flesh into thin, rectangular pieces measuring about 3 x 1 1/4 in
(8 x 3 cm).
2 Place these in a very wide, flameproof earthenware casserole dish, sprinkle with
the sugar and add just sufficient water to cover; leave to stand for 24 hours.
3 Place the casserole dish on a moderate heat, bring to the boil, reduce the heat
and simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring now and then, until the pumpkin is
tender.
4 Leave to cool at room temperature and then serve in small bowls or dishes,
sprinkled with the chopped walnuts.
