Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls

Say hello to our new favorite way to make Pillsbury™ Cinnabon™ Orange Rolls—with jeweled-toned cranberries, sweet pineapple, ginger and walnuts for crunch. Just try not to love them!

8 Rolls

55 Minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh cranberries

1/2 cup crushed pineapple, undrained (from 8-oz can)

1/2 cup strong ginger beer or ginger ale

2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

1 can (13.9 oz) Pillsbury™ Cinnabon™ refrigerated orange rolls with orange icing

Method:

Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.

In 2-quart saucepan, cook cranberries, pineapple, ginger beer, orange juice concentrate and ginger over medium-high heat 10 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is very thick. Remove from heat; cool 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, toast walnuts over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat.

Open can of dough; do not separate rolls. Set icing aside.

Carefully unroll dough onto cutting board, being careful not to separate. Spread cooled cranberry mixture evenly on dough; sprinkle with walnuts. Carefully reroll dough. With serrated knife, cut each roll at perforations, wiping blade of knife after each for clean cuts. Place rolls about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet, reshaping rolls if necessary.

Bake 9 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Spread icing evenly over warm rolls.

Chef's Notes:

For best results, work with cold dough directly from refrigerator.

To make rolls easier to cut, refrigerate filled dough about 20 minutes before cutting into individual rolls.
