Crystallized Pumpkin Candy - Dulces de Calabaza Criztalizado

[@krush818]

I made this for myself and my family. I'm a Chicano and I remember having these when I was 8 years old in Mexico. My mom thought it was too much of hassle to make despite me always requesting them. Now I am a 31 year old man making these beautiful treats. It absolutely takes me back. Thank you for this wonderful video. You are a great teacher!

I recently lost my abuelita and she loved everything and anything con calabaza…thank you for the recipe!

[@SaltyCocina]

I am so sorry for your loss. I always believe that things happen for a reason, maybe she guided you to this video.

[@emeraldfarias4215]

I've been looking for a recipe just like this! I love how you explained step by step and can't wait to try it! I hope our loval Michoacana store has the white powder you first soaked the pumpkin in. I'd never heard of it before. So excited and can't wait yobtry. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe!!

I'm in the process of making this for my family. I will be back to let you know how it turns out. I've been looking for the recipe for ages. Thank you so much for clear directions on how to make it. I've written the recipe down with all the instructions you've given, so i do not miss a step. I've had it before so i know i love this candy. Now lets see if i can make it because it's hard to find. Recently i found some but it wasn't like this so must have been made differently. This looks like the kind I used to get back in the 90's that was made by an Elderly Mexican lady in the neighborhood who sold it in the little market down the street from where I lived at the time. Again Thank you so much for sharing. ♥

[@supereight9221]

I'm eating my last piece of this candy just brought back from Mexico and it tastes like soft chewy pumpkin pie gummy

I love this candy! Every time I go to Mexico I have to get the clear one with the big black seeds but I never see it where I live. Do you know what type of pumpkin/squash it might be? I just grew my own pumpkin and want to try this recipe. How long does the candy last? Does it have to be refrigerated?

[@abigailreyes9144]

If it helps, I think the one you're talking about is Chilacayote, or in English Fig Leaf gourd or Fig Leaf squash

[@TheSeejohnboy]

I used to get this from a corner store years ago and haven’t been able to find it in lord knows how long

[@RosaKaczmarek]

I like to see what pumpkin was used. Is it possible you post it?

[@mr_noodler]

I wish there was a love button

[@sfranchise101]

How long should I let cool down before eating? Do I need to let them sit out an extended period of time?

[@forealisme]

Hello .. Looks delicious! You started out with a 8 pound pumpkin and are using half for this recipe. You didn’t say how much the pumpkin weighed after removing the seeds, skin and fibers for this recipe, maybe 3 pounds left?

[@ashlet344]

Is this how the figs, pineapple and other fruits are done too?

[@tracywynn4277]

Hello, can you tell me what kind of pumpkin you use? I see orange, green or white?

[@josieavalos6816]

I wish I had seen this video before I got rid of my pumpkins 😞

[@annabellagarcia2261]

How long will this candy last? Can it be frozen?

[@annabellagarcia2261]

I just made pumpkin candy using your recipe, it's delicious. Does the candy dry up? Mine feels wet. Is that normal?

[@gracielacanales1439]

I was wondering the same thing. It's delicious but still wet after 2 days of drying.

[@lizbethmartinez4575]

How do you store it afterwards? How long does it Last?

[@lorenarocioalcantaracastro1233]

A few weeks. You store it in a bowl and cover with a napkin.

[@monilovesyou88]

Can I use orange pumpkins from thanksgiving

[@SaltyCocina]

Yes, I’ve prepared them with both types of

[@ronaldareyes9899]

👍

[@crystalshepherd6809]

Can I use any pumpkin?

[@rockysjewel]

this IS pumpkin

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

@@rockysjewel There are different types of pumpkin and some are more palatable than others. Jack-o-lantern pumpkins are more stringy and watery, pie pumpkins are more dense and fleshy - both would work, but the outcome will be different.

[@teaunnalove]

What does the hydrolyzed lime do? And is it necessary?

[@baylady211]

She mentioned in the video it is what keeps the pieces intact when they go in the boiling syrup. Otherwise I suspect they would disintegrate. Hope that helps!
