Pumpkin Cooked in Raw Sugar

1. 1

   Pierce the shell-like outer rind of the pumpkin in several places to enable the syrup to penetrate the flesh and cut into pieces about 3 inches (8 cm) square, leaving the fibrous flesh and seeds inside.

2. 2

   In a wide, heavy saucepan put enough water to completely cover the pumpkin.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Add the pieces of pumpkin and guavas and cook over fairly high heat, moving the pieces around from time to time to avoid sticking.

5. 5

   Cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking until the syrup has reduced and the flesh of the pumpkin is a rich brown.
