Wow...this is an incredible recipe. I was totally unsure of what to expect; the ingredients looked yummy, but very different. I was in for a surprise! I didn't have any walnuts, so I used pecans instead, and I also skipped the raisins (family preference!). The ring is a little hard to shape, because the filling is rather runny. When you are rolling the dough/filling jelly-roll style, be careful to lift the rolled part up slightly so that the filling won't start "bunching up", and ooze out all over the counter when you are done rolling. My ring spread out a lot more than I thought it would...my dough might have been a touch soft. In any case, the ring was so delicious...my family devoured it in about 3 hours! The ratio of dough to filling was perfect; there was just enough filling to keep the ring moist and give a good pumpkin/spice flavor, but not so much that it overpowered. The glaze was also perfect; there was just the right amount, and it had an excellent flavor/texture. I garnished my ring with some tiny pecans I had lying around...they looked so pretty! Thanks SO much for sharing this one...it is a keeper, and I will make it again and again!
