My family has made this every year for at least 10 years. We love it. Its a side, a sweet side, so not a dessert. Think of it similar to a sweet potato casserole but a bit more sophisticated.

This was absolutely delicious! I added chopped pecans and served it with ice cream. I will definitely make again!
Tasty, but confusing. Is it a dessert? Is it a savory side? It's a little too sweet/spicy/heavy to be a traditional side, but too "squash-like" for a traditional dessert. I had to use ground ginger instead of crystalized and left out the cranberries in deference to my daughter who does not like them. I think the cloves are a little heavy or I may have over-added. Nice, but confusing.
