In medium saucepan combine water, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced by about one-quarter and a light syrup forms, about 15 minutes.
Add pumpkin or squash, reduce heat to very low and simmer gently until the pumpkin is translucent, about 45 minutes.

Spoon over ice cream and serve.
