Pumpkin marmalade is a healthy dessert, but it should be consumed in moderation. It contains many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are essential for human health.

It is better to use fresh pumpkin than canned or frozen pumpkin. Do not add a lot of sugar to the marmalade, as this will reduce the beneficial properties.
