Cranberry Blossoms
Healthy Christmas Recipe

Ingredients:
2/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup skim milk
1 cup dried cranberries, divided
1/4 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 loaf (14 to 16 ounces) frozen, white bread dough, thawed
2 tablespoons lower fat margarine, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:
In a small mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk; mix well. Pour mixture into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cherries and pecans evenly over sugar mixture. On a lightly floured surface, roll bread dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle; brush with melted butter. In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cranberries.

Roll up rectangle, jelly-roll style, starting from the long side; pinch to seal edges. With a sharp knife, cut roll into 12 slices. Place slices, cut-side down, on top of mixture in pan. Let rise, covered, in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until nearly double. (Or, cover with waxed paper, then with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours. Before baking let chilled rolls stand, covered, 20 minutes at room temperature).
