I always loved pumpkin preserves, but this recipe is my favorite. You may decide to omit the ginger and only add lemon, but in my opinion, ginger makes it very special.

2 pounds peeled and seeded pumpkin, cut into small cubes
5 ¼ cups white sugar
1 lemon, cut into wedges and seeded

Stir pumpkin and sugar together in a saucepan. Cover and let stand, 8 hours to overnight.
Place unpeeled lemon wedges in a food processor; purée until smooth.
Place pumpkin and sugar mixture in the saucepan over high heat. Stir in lemon and ginger. Bring to a rolling boil; cook, stirring frequently, until pumpkin is translucent but still holds its shape, about 30 minutes. Mash to desired consistency.
