I've made them this way for years. My husband grew up hating brussel sprouts until I made them this way for him. I also add garlic sometimes. This is also how I convinced my husband to eat asparagus. Works for those too :)

Puree your fresh pumpkin! The flavor was good but I read somewhere that you can just mash your fresh pumpkin. WRONG. The texture of my pie was spongy and stringy- I'm assuming because I didn't puree it. Flavor was pretty good. I did substitute allspice for the nutmeg.

I had leftover pork loin I wanted to use up and this was PERFECT for that. I skipped the first step of cooking the pork and I divided the sauce mix in half (since I skipped the first step). I added 1/4 c pineapple juice and there was plenty of sauce and plenty of flavor. I started out by sauteing the pepper and onions until they had a soft crunch. Then I added the cubed pork, ginger, garlic, and sauce. I didn't have any carrots but this was still DELICIOUS!
