If you cannot find a pumpkin, you can use sweet potatoes or a yellow squash.

and this is a link to a recipe for Butternut Squash pie:

I use tinned pumpkin, I have never cooked down a pumpkin. . It comes in two kinds, spiced already, and not. Another alternative is yam, or sweet potato pie. It has a similar consistency and color and the same spices.

For pumpkin pie, I use the recipe on the Libby's pumpkin can. It works swell. But I make one change, I change 1/2 cup of the white sugar to brown sugar. Let me see if I can find the recipe. Yep, here it is:
