Step 1:
For this dish, we prepare all the ingredients we need and then we will figure out how to cook pumpkin compote for the winter.
Step 2:
Pumpkin comes in different varieties, choose sweet and juicy. We peel the pumpkin from the peel and from the seeds. There should also be no fibrous part on it. Now we cut it into small neat cubes.
Step 3:
Put the cubes in a convenient deep bowl and cover with sugar.
Step 4:
Pour in the water. We try to use a bowl or saucepan in which the water will only slightly cover the sliced pumpkin. We put the pumpkin on the stove on medium heat, let it heat up and pour in the vinegar. Vinegar is needed so that the pumpkin pieces remain whole and beautiful. One more point: vinegar should be strong.
Step 5:
Cook our compote until fully cooked. It will take about twenty minutes.
Step 6:
When the pumpkin is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool. Before trying such a compote, it needs to be cooled, keep in mind.

What should I know about pumpkin? Despite the fact that it consists of 90% water, it contains a lot of amino acids, proteins and carbohydrates, vitamins A, B, C, E, D, PP, K and rare vitamin T. This vegetable is rich in such useful minerals as copper, magnesium, fluorine, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, iodine. One hundred grams of pumpkin contains 1 gram of protein, which means that the amount of protein in it is greater than in quail eggs. Pumpkin has five times more carotene than carrots. As you know, carotene in the body turns into vitamin A - a strong antioxidant. As you can see, pumpkin from compote is a very vitamin food, first of all. And, secondly, the pumpkin compote itself can also be rolled up in jars for the winter (along with pieces of vegetables, of course). Among the additional advantages of raw pumpkin, it is also worth noting that it can be stored at room temperature for a long time and at the same time not deteriorate and not lose its useful properties - take note of this fact.
