Stambolka

Stambolka or slatko od bundeve is a traditional Bosnian dessert made with a pumpkin that is cooked long and slow in water and sugar until tender and sweet. Depending on preference, the pumpkin can be topped with jabukov pekmez or walnuts once cooked. The name of the sweet comes from the name of the pumpkin used to prepare it. Also, the pumpkin needs to be very hard and firm to be suitable for preparing this treat.
