Recipe
2 Medium to Large Carving Pumpkins
2 1/2 cups of Brown Sugar
2 cups of White, Pure Cane Sugar
1 cup of Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
4 cups of Water
Salt to taste

Steps

Pumpkin & Jar Prep
Remove seeds and gusts from the pumpkin and cut into halves or quarters
Place into an oiled roasting pan, cover with foil and puncture the foil to allow venting
Roast at 375 for 1 1/2 hours
Place pumpkin into a large bowl and add your spice mix
Use emersion blender or food processor to blend until smooth
Begin filling your clean jars using a funnel until you have a 1 inch headspace
De-bubble as needed
Wipe your rims with White Vinegar
Secure your two-piece lids, only finger-tight

Canner Prep
Fill your canner with 2 inches of water and a splash of white vinegar
Place your jars into the canner and secure your lid
Set your burner to a low-medium heat to bring it to temp slowly
Once your vent pipe has started to vent, set a 10 minute timer
After 10 minutes, place on your regulator
After your dial gauge reads the correct PSI, or your Jiggle Weight begins to "dance," begin your 75 minute timer
After 75 minutes, turn off your canner and allow to reach 0 in pressure. Wait an additional 25-30 minutes before removing your regulator or lid.

Resting & Storing
Remove your jars from the canner with your jar lifers and rest them on a clean kitchen towel for 24 hours.
After 24-hrs, remove the rings and clean your jars with white vinegar and a rag.
Label your contents and store.

These will last several years if stored out of direct sunlight and in an evenly tempered location.
