Tried this with fresh pumpkin I have on hand and I'm afraid it didn't work well. Tasted delicious but I had to doctor it in many ways to get around the pumpkin being so watery. If I had used the sweet potatoes, I'm absolutely certain I'd be giving this 5 stars. Loved the apple cider reduction and cooked apples. Pumpkin is too thin unless you're going to thicken it with eggs or flour, etc. Stick with the recipe as written and I'm sure you'll love it.
