I love pumpkin. I once did a tea titled "Fun in the Pumpkin Patch" where almost everything on the menu was pumpkin one way or another.
So far this fall I've made two batches of Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread and two Pumpkin Rolls. Today I decided to share my Pumpkin Roll recipe. I've had it for many years, and it's tried and true. Pumpkin rolls make wonderful hostess gifts. As a matter-of-fact, I gave one to my neighbor who recently hosted the neighborhood tea party. They freeze beautifully, and can be kept on hand for upcoming holiday giving - if they manage to stay in the freezer that long!

Thank you for this recipe. I've never made one. Everyone tells me it is easier than it sounds.
ReplyDeleteYum! I need to make this! Just can't seem to get enough pumpkin flavor in the fall.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. Isn't that a great dessert. I have made the one on the Libby's can (recipe). A very pretty presentation!
ReplyDeleteMMMMmmmmmm! I love pumpkin anything! Your recipe sounds delicious. I will have to give it a go. I had my first pumpkin pie last week. I am always excited when it is time for pumpkins : )
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
That pumpkin roll looks delicious and elegant. Thanks for posting the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin anything, Phyllis, and in fact it's hard to beat a pumpkin pie, as far as pie goes, in my books. Your pumpkin roll not only sounds delish but it's pretty too. What a lovely dessert to serve family or friends. I like the fact that you can freeze it too. Thank you for sharing the recipe and joining me for tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Your pumpkin roll looks great, Phyllis! I am very fond of pumpkin and will be trying to make pumpkin pie soup soon.
ReplyDeleteOne of my all-time favorite desserts to make is pumpkin roll, Phyllis ! My family loves when I make it and you're so right, it doesn't last long!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a perfect treat! I love pumpkin pie, but my honey doesn't. But I've found if it has some cake in it it's okay. So yours is wonderful! I can almost smell it baking now! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!
