Pumpkins are unavailable most of the time in some countries. An excellent substitute for all uses is made from the following:

Ingredients

• 1 kg (about 2 lbs) mixed carrot and swede
• 500 g (about 1 lb) plain yogurt

Procedure

1. Purée the vegetable mix until smooth.
2. Add the yogurt.
3. Use in place of pumpkin purée.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Frozen carrot and swede mix makes this a very easy substitution.
• Purée thoroughly to obtain a smooth mixture.
• The ingredients can be added whole to foods that will be puréed later.
• Other winter squashes may also be used as substitutes for pumpkin
