Original recipe ("Paul's Pumpkin Bars") calls for a 10x15 jellyroll pan, but since I don't own one, I used two 8x8 Pyrex glass pans and it worked just the same. Pour mix into two (ungreased) pans.

Karin, I'd use frozen winter squash purée, which has the same consistency as pumpkin. If you can't find that, try microwaving sweet potatoes until soft, remove the skin and blend until it's in purée form. Add a little cream if it's not thick enough. Good luck!
