OK, I tried it... and not so much. I am going to make it with sweet potatoes sometime to see what it's supposed to taste like! Thanks for the help & suggestions, PPs. --OP

I swap pumpkin for sweet potatoes and vice versa all the time. Everything always turns out fine. I'd say go for it... and report back to us!

Forgot to mention... the recipe calls for canned!

Maybe if she cooked the pumpkin down first?

I think it is just too different of a texture if the original recipe calls for fresh, not canned.

So the recipe is a sweet potato casserole; it contains lemon and orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and butter, with a pecan & brown sugar topping. Do you think I can swap out the sweet potatoes and use canned pumpkin instead?
