Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
6 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed, unpeeled
water to cover by 2-inches
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup currants or raisins
1/2 stick butter, optional
directions
Put potatoes in a large pot, add water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, partially cover the pot, and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes or until potatoes are just tender. Check each potato.
Remove the potatoes from the water and when cooled enough to handle, peel. Cut into small pieces and place in a large bowl.
Add sugars, coconut, pecans, currents, and butter. Mash with a potato masher until well blended. Will be slightly lumpy. Chill 3 to 4 hours or overnight.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
