Choosing The Pumpkin For The Best Pumpkin Dessert
There are numerous tricks to use if you want the pumpkin to retain its full texture when preparing your Turkish pumpkin recipes, and for it to be soft in your mouth when you eat it. Of course, the priority is to choose the best pumpkin dessert. For this, it is very important to follow the steps below:
- Our first choice for the best pumpkin dessert should be the pumpkin, of course.If you buy the pumpkin whole, you should first look at the skin. If there are unusual marks and cracks on the peel, you should definitely not buy that pumpkin. Instead, choose pumpkins that are as crack-free and undamaged as possible.
- It is also important that the peel is matte. If the skin of the pumpkins is very vivid, this could be due to residues of insecticides or contact with another foreign substance, then you should leave it alone.
- The skin of the pumpkin must be firm. If the crust is smooth or free, this indicates that it has started to cook. Alternatively, you need to opt for those with stretchy, hard-to-shell skins.
- To tell how ripe the pumpkin you buy is, you can examine how long it stays in contact with the sun and soil. If you see that yellow hues dominate the lowest part of the entire pumpkin, you can buy this pumpkin without worry. Because this is a sign that the pumpkin has been in the ground for a long time. Since it stays in the ground for a long time, you can tell that it is widely harvested after ripening.
- If you can’t turn the pumpkin over or want to take another look, you can check the stem of the pumpkin. The stem of the pumpkin you buy must be absolutely dry. If you see a pumpkin with a inexperienced stem or a patchy green stem, it was harvested before it was ripe. Instead, choose pumpkins that have turned completely yellow and dried.
- Finally, if you want to buy a whole pumpkin, choose medium sized pumpkins rather than very large or small pumpkins. This indicates that the zucchini you’re buying is ripe, and since it’s medium length, you can slice it while you’re in the house and start slicing and chopping.



If We Want To Buy It Sliced
If you decide to buy a pumpkin for the best pumpkin dessert you can eat in the market, and therefore buy the pumpkin in slices, there are some steps that you should consider when making the decision.
- It is not right if the slices are neither too hard nor too tender. Rather, you need to choose medium-hard slices.
- Unlike pumpkins whose color can be very mild, extra orange slices can be a delicious desire, especially for those who want to prepare the best pumpkin dessert, remember.
- Assess the color of the peel and check if it is dull or smooth.
- If there is no problem with the crust or if the pores and skin of the slices you can buy have been cleaned, take a look at the inside. Opt for those that stand as a whole rather than those that look very fibrous inside.
Cook In Sugar In A Single Day
As you know, the best pumpkin dessert in its classic form is preferably poured into granulated sugar the night before. The reason why the pumpkin is kept in a closed pot with the addition of sugar is quite simple. In this technique, the sugar dissolves completely and combines with the zucchini, and since it releases its water, you do not need to use water even when cooking the dessert.
But what if you forgot to sugar the squash beforehand? Don’t worry, we have a very realistic technique that you can put together throughout the day for the visitors who will come that night, in short, you can put the pumpkin dessert on the table without expecting the next day.
Place the pumpkins in the oven bag, add sugar and put it in the oven. At the end of the 1-hour baking time, your soft cooked zucchini will be prepared like a Turkish delight and can be eaten with relish. This time period can be longer or shorter depending on the hardness of the squash. A very practical recipe for baked pumpkin dessert.
