What a delightful dessert this was. Deeelicious, healthy, lowfat and easy to make if you use the food processor to grate the vegetable. What more could a cook/diner want? I have a whole line of pumpkins sitting outside on a bench waiting to be used up so I made this with fresh pumpkin, dark Karo and half Splenda for the brown sugar. I skipped the water as the pumpkin IS very watery. It worked perfectly. It's a great technique and full of wonderful flavors of the season, Gay. Thanks.

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
