3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 fresh green or red jalapeno or serrano chili (or 1/2 Jamaican Scotch bonnet chili), minced
1 large white yam, peeled and diced
1/2 calabaza (Jamaican pumpkin) or a 10-pound regular pumpkin, peeled, seeded and diced
2 quarts vegetable or chicken stock
Approximately 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, to taste
Approximately 1 tablespoon sugar, to taste
