Enjoy!! Wild Bill is our neighbor the chef who has made this for us the last several holidays & trust me on this--IT'S GOOD EATIN'!!!-
Chef Bill says that sweet potato has more 'substance'. He says you can use pumpkin, but its more watery & the end result isn't the same. Now you can make your own pumpkin & strain it & puree. Probably would be very comparable.
