If you want to make pumpkin jam, cut the pumpkin into slices, remove seeds and peel, and then cut the pulp into a small cube. Place the pumpkin cubes in a pot and add sugar. Mix and cover with a lid. Allow to macerate overnight (or at least 12 hours). After finishing the maceration, add the cinnamon, liqueur, grated nutmeg, lemon zest, as well as 40 g of filtered lemon juice to the pumpkin. Cook the pumpkin for about 1 hour on low heat. Lightly blend with a blender, leaving a few pieces of pumpkin. Boil to obtain the right consistency. When the jam is ready, put it still hot into the jars, taking care to leave about 1 cm of space from the edge. Spin.
