Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Halve the pumpkins, remove the seeds and fibers, then cut into wedges. Place the wedges, skin-side down, in shallow roasting pans to fit. Cover tightly with foil and bake until tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Let the pumpkin cool, then remove and discard the skin. Place the pulp in a bowl and toss with the brown sugar, butter, ginger, mace, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and salt. Puree in batches in a food processor until just smooth. Transfer to a bowl; fold in the sour cream. Adjust seasonings to taste. Cover and reheat at 350 degrees in an ovenproof serving dish for 15 - 20 minutes.
Makes a tasty alternative to mashed potatoes.
