A friend of mine has been bringing this to pot luck dinners and it's always a big hit. I like being able to use either pumpkin or whatever appropriate squash is available from the garden. I also like using different nuts or raisins but with pecans it is amazing. If your spring for the raw sugar it makes a wonderful coating and completes it nicely.
