  19. CULTURAL TREASURES OF SAKARYA

  20. KABAK TATLISI • Ingredientspumpkin or butternut squashsugar4-5 clovescrushed walnuts • The ratio of pumpkin to sugar is 1:1/2. I used 3 cups of squash and 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Peel the pumpkin, cut it into big chunks, and put in a pot. Put sugar on and let it sit overnight. It will release water, so you don't need to add water when you're cooking it. The next day, add 4-5 cloves in to the pot and cook on medium until the pumpkin is soft, approximately 30 minutes. Let it cool and garnish with walnuts or grated coconut.
