Pumpkins are considered a winter squash and a close culinary relative to squash. Remember than the average grocery store will sell large pumpkins for carving, not really suitable for baking or cooking.

The smaller designated baking pumpkins are better.

OR if you want, butternut squash is a perfect substitute. Remember, they are practically cousins. In fact, in Australia and New Zealand, they are known as butternut pumpkins. #FunFact
