SIDE SIDE NOTE: I grew these pie pumpkins on my small farm.
Candied Pecans
1 pound pecan halves unsalted (16 ounces or approximately 4 cups)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 teaspoons water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk egg white, vanilla extract, and water until foamy, about 2 minutes. Fold in pecans and stir until completely coated in egg white mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour over the top of the pecans and toss until pecans are completely coated in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking in a single layer. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes stirring after the first 15 minutes, then every 10 minutes thereafter until the sugar mixture has hardened.
Remove the candied pecans from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.

Pumpkin desserts bring the warmth of fall into your home, and this Pumpkin Cake Roll with Candied Pecans is no exception. This recipe highlights the best flavors of the season, making it a perfect choice for cozy gatherings or holiday feasts. The candied pecans not only enhance the flavor but also add a delightful crunch to your cake roll. For a more intense flavor, you can try variations of pumpkin pie spice that combine ground ginger, nutmeg, and allspice, which all pair beautifully with pumpkin. When preparing your cake, wrist all your dry ingredients together to ensure an even blend and avoid clumping, especially for baking soda and powder, as these are essential for leavening the cake. Don’t forget to cool your cake properly before rolling it up; this step is crucial to maintaining its shape and preventing cracks. If you’d like to add an extra layer of flavor, consider incorporating some maple syrup into your cream cheese filling for a sweet twist. Store the finished pumpkin roll in the refrigerator, and it can easily last for up to five days. It’s also freeze-friendly, so you can prepare it ahead of time and enjoy it later on! Wing up your baking with this delightful recipe and wow your friends and family with an undoubtedly unforgettable treat.
