Turkish Poached Pumpkin (Kabak Tatlisi) For Halloween Fun!

Looking for a quick and easy Halloween Dessert? This Turkish sweet poached pumpkin dessert, "Kabak Tatlisi" is delicious and a perfect dessert idea for upcoming Halloween or Thanksgiving celebrations. .Just five ingredients make it possible to prepare this dessert in about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

5 cups pumpkin (peeled, seeded, cubed)
2 cups sugar
1 lemon, juiced
5 cloves
1/2 cup walnuts

Cut the pumpkin cubes into 1-1 1/2 inch cubes. Place pumpkin into a small pan. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Cover the pan and allow to sit for 2-3 hours. The sugar will draw out an amazing amount of liquid from the pumpkin.

When I uncovered the pan 4 hours later, the liquid had covered the pumpkin. Place on a medium burner and bring to a simmer. Add the cloves and lemon juice. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. After the pumpkin`s color change, remove from heat.

Serve in bowls along with the syrup. Crush walnuts over the top. Grab a spoon and dig in!

Enjoy!!!
