NO CANNED PUMPKIN? Ack. SUBSTITUTE canned YAMS or SWEET POTATOES. (Drain and mash) For fun, I tried this recipe, for the first time, with the canned yams - SUPER. To die for yummy. Then, I used the canned pumpkin (my pantry is kept full year round) - and found not much difference, that I could detect. I do use spices liberally including extra cinnamon. My neighbor (ok, competitor) made to out-do me, so she used cooked butternut squash (mashed) - and BINGO. PS. Anyone who gardens - don't forget butternut squash - they keep for 8-12 months in storage. And then treat it like pumpkin or yams. Great substitution tips. Thanks for sharing the bounty of your garden! Happy Baking - Irene @ KAF
