Answer 1

Mix in some pumpkin pie spice, milk, sugar, brown sugar and butter - heat and serve like you would squash or substitute it for the sweet potato in a SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH
MARSHMALLOWS USING PUMPKIN IN PLACE OF SWEET POTATOES

2 cups pumpkin puree
1 tbsp. vanilla
5 tbsp. sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup orange juice
Marshmallows (large or miniature)
Cinnamon sugar

Boil (or bake) sweet potatoes until done. Remove peeling from HOT POTATOES and mash well, removing all strings. Add all ingredients but marshmallows and cinnamon sugar; mix well. Spray or grease lightly Pyrex or Corning dish. Put a layer of potatoes, layer of marshmallows until filled. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar for added flavor. Bake about 350 degrees F until HOT. Remove from oven and put marshmallows on top. Place again in oven to brown lightly. Serves 10 to 12.
You may add 1 cup scalded homogenized milk to potato mixture for a richer casserole.

Orange extract may be used instead of orange juice. It is stronger in taste so add carefully to taste.
