Where am I supposed to get that pumpkin from? Not around here no way. get real and use ordinary ingredients.

Hi Laura, Pumpkin is seasonal so we would recommend substituting in any other firm squash for the pumpkin, such as butternut or acorn squash, which tend to be available year-round. Hope this helps!
