Dietary pumpkin dessert
Description
This dessert probably won't replace a piece of pie, cake, or pastry, but it's much healthier and won't ruin your figure. The dessert is very easy to prepare using simple, accessible ingredients. I boil the pumpkin and then bake it in the oven. I serve the pumpkin pieces with a berry sauce (made from cherries). You can make any sauce to your taste, or simply drizzle the pumpkin with honey, jam, or preserves.

Meanwhile, I prepare the sauce: I wash the cherries and remove the pits, transfer them to a saucepan, add the remaining sugar, dissolve the starch in 100 milliliters of water, pour it into the cherries, place on the stove and bring to a boil, then cook for 10 minutes over low heat.
