We got a call last night that our daughter-in-law had just delivered a healthy grand daughter for us. I was so excited that couldn't go back to sleep so I got up and made the pumpkin cinnamon rolls to take to the hospital. When we left for the hospital, they were still warm and smelled DELICIOUS. I made two recipes and, as posted earlier, one can is too much for one recipe but not enough for two. I had a small squash and a sweet potato that I boiled and added to the remaining pumpkin. Both recipes turned out perfect and the taste is outstanding. When I am ready to do the filling, I melt butter and add brown sugar and cinnamon making a paste which is easy to spread. Also, for one batch, instead of butter, I used applesauce, brown sugar and cinnamon, making them lower in calories and fat. Can I just say that my husband told me I should not take those rolls to the hospital. They should be left at home. (FOR HIM). Thanks for another great recipe. Keep them coming, I love the compliments!
Karen, congratulations on your new granddaughter! I'm glad such a happy occasion inspired another happy occasion - baking. And tell your husband he'll just have to accompany you to the hospital if he wants a warm roll... :) PJH
