Pumpkin in Sugar Syrup @ Sira Labu

The local call this Sira Labu. What I like about this dessert is that it is sweet and flavorful. Rich in fiber, pumpkin is good for bowel cleansing as well. We do not eat pumpkin that much, but if we do, the pumpkin would be turned into savoury gravy with coconut milk or sweet porridge to name a few.  For those who have not tried this simple recipe, do try as it takes very little time to do and requires the simplest ingredients as well. Enjoy!






Ingredients

4 pumpkins cut into wedges, remove the outer skin
4-6 Table spoon sugar, or as desired
1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
1 1/2 cups of water, or until it covers the pumpkin

Methods

1. In a pot, put all ingredients and cook until the pumpkins become soft and the water thickens into syrup.

2. Put in the fridge for a few hours before eating in an individual plate.

*serves 2-4 people
