Peel the skin off the calabasa and clean it.

Boil the calabasa until tender.

Drain and mash the calabasa, yielding 1 cup.

In a pot, combine 1 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons water to make caramel sauce.

When the sugar mixture turns brown, pour it into a baking dish.

In a blender, combine the mashed calabasa, 5 eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Strain the mixture into the baking dish over the caramel.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Place the baking dish in a regular pot and cover it to cook for about 1 hour.

Check with a toothpick to see if it comes out dry; if wet, cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Let it rest for 4 hours before serving.

Run a knife or spatula around the edges to loosen the flan before flipping it onto a plate.
