This is a wonderful recipe... and the smell of it cooking is fantastic! Had an excess of (small) pumpkins from this year's harvest, and this was an excellent choice for them. Just in time the holidays, too. Preparing some as gifts for my foodie friends. :) Went with real sugar and brown sugar vs. Splenda option. Very pleased with outcome.
