Easy pumpkin juice

There are many varieties of pumpkin juice. Pumpkin is combined with carrots, apples, pears, and plums, but I ideally like the combination with orange, here is an explosive wave of a fragrant bouquet

Ingredients

• pumpkin 1 kg
• water 1 l
• sugar 200 g
• Orange juice ½ l

Directions

1. 1. We peel the pumpkin, cut out the seeds, and remove the middle. Cut into large cubes.
2. 2. We prepare syrup from water and sugar - bring to a boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, send the pumpkin into it and blanch for 5-7 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
3. 3. Slightly cooled pumpkin is sent to a blender and brought to a puree state.
4. 4. We dilute the finished puree with the resulting syrup in a ratio of 1: 1 and add orange juice to taste. We send it back to the stove and boil for another 1-2 minutes. You can adjust the balance of taste yourself, but the main note should be pumpkin. I added 0.5 liters of orange fresh juice and 1 liter of syrup to the resulting puree. The juice turned out thick and with a delicate aroma of orange.
5. 5. We cool the juice in the refrigerator for about an hour so that all the ingredients “make friends” and open up with a full bouquet of taste. You can serve the juice with ice cubes from orange juice or pumpkin syrup, which remained during the preparation process.
