calabaza en tacha [(Mexican) candied pumpkin OR pumpkin in raw sugar ]
I agree that the dessert name should be kept in Spanish but I would suggest putting the translation in brackets. The most popular English rendering appears to be "candied pumpkin" (see numerous listings at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=tacha candied). However, one may also find "cooked in raw sugar":

While you show "calabaza de tacha" (10 Google hits), the most common rendering appears to be "calabaza en tacha" (over 740 Google hits).

Yes, I see now. I confess that I only saw "pumpkin" and Mapi's recommendation to keep the Spanish. I offered my answer because I wanted to offer a specific alternative for handling the translation.

You should leave the name as it is, it appears in several sites
Calabaza en Tacha
Calabaza en Tacha is another traditional dessert, that is prepared during the Fiestas de Muertos. It is very easy and delicious!
Ingredients
1 4 to 5 lbs Pumpkin approx.
8 Cinnamon sticks
Juice of 1 Orange
4 cups water
2 lbs Piloncillo ( you can use brown sugar or
raw sugar)
Cut the pumpkin into medium (2½" to 3" squares or triangles). Remove seeds and strings. With a sharp knife make diamond designs over the pulp
Put the sugar in a pan with the cinnamon, orange juice, and water. Bring to a boil and stir until the piloncillo has dissolved.
Place the first layer of pieces of pumpkin upside down so they absorb as much juice as possible. The second layer should be with the pulp upwards. Cover and simmer. When ready the top of the pumpkin pieces should look somewhat glazed, and the pulp soft and golden brown.
Let cool and serve with the syrup. You can also add cold evaporated milk!
I prefer to have the pumpkin after it has been in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
