Drain and eliminate excess liquid
Wash the pumpkin chunks in running water two or three times
Combine sugar, water, clove buds, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, then add the pumpkin chunks
Gently stir the pumpkin to absorb the syrup and transfer it to a serving dish
Simmer over low heat until the pumpkin is tender but still holds its shape, then remove with a skimmer
Transfer the pumpkin to a compote dish and reduce the syrup to a thread-like consistency, then drizzle it over the pumpkin
Let it cool before serving, in individual servings.
