Place pumpkin into a pan. Add the spices, sugar and the orange juice.
Bring to the boil 50 minutess or until the pumpkin is easily squashed with a wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick and a clear orange color — almost translucent.
Smash the pumpkin with a wooden spoon , or if you want a very smooth jam, use a blender.
Spoon hot jam into sterilized jars and close immediately.
