Cabell d'àngel (Catalan pronunciation: [kaˈβɛʎ ˈdaɲʒəɫ], Catalan pronunciation: [kaˈβeʎ ˈdaɲdʒeɫ]) or Cabello de ángel (English: "angel's hair") is a transparent threaded[clarification needed] jam made from Siam pumpkin (Cucurbita ficifolia) pulp and white sugar. It originated in Majorca but its use has spread to the rest of Spain and some countries in the Americas. Cabell d'àngel is usually flavored with stick cinnamon or citron skin. It is best when prepared in the spring, once the pumpkins have fully matured.[1]
Uses
Cabell d'Àngel can be used simply as a pumpkin jam spread on slices of bread, but it is mainly used to stuff pastries, as ensaïmades, pastissets and coques.[2]
