Cover pan and cook one more minute. Uncover and add pecans. Cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until nuts are a little darker.
  • Immediately pour mixture in prepared baking sheet. Spread pecans in a single layer and let cool. Break into pieces.

  1. I had no trouble at all with this VERY, VERY NICE recipe! The candied pecans are a wonderful addition, & the pumpkin cream can out VERY TASTY! I did use the OJ instead of the rum & thought that it, along with the zest, gave it a great flavor! Definitely a nice change on a winter's day 'pumpkin-anything'! Thanks for the keeper!

  2. I wish I could give this more stars. The flavor was good, but for some reason I couldn't get the whipping cream to thicken. Not sure if it was my doing or not. I used the rum and orange zest. To me the orange was over powering. I may try to make this again soon because I feel that it deserves a second chance. I do have to say that the candied pecans were right on!! Thanks for posting. I will update my review soon.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I began cooking as a kid with my mom. I cook mostly Mexican food, but my best recipes are the ones that I improvise at the last minute! Especially desserts, which I love to cook, but always forget to write down. I'm a stay at home mom of three kids- 2 boys (3 & 5years old) and a 1 year old baby girl. My husband and I have been married for nearly 8 years. I want to take a moment to thank all of you who have made my recipes and even took the time to review and/or photograph them. I appreciate every one of them! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw"> <img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/emmyduckie/banner2009.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"width=90%> <img src="http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/vseward/Bevy/officialmemberofthebevtaggame.jpg"> <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=278234"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c99/ruemke/banners/beans-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/IRecommendGame_AssortedChoc-part-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/Other/Elves-appreciationSTICKER.jpg">
