Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, maple syrup, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in large heavy-bottomed saucepan; bring to sputtering simmer over medium heat, 5-7 minutes. Continue to simmer pumpkin mixture, stirring constantly, and mashing yams against sides of pot, until thick and shiny, 10-15 minutes.
