Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberries fresh
  • 1/2 cup pineapple undrained, crushed
  • 1/2 cup ginger ale or strong ginger beer
  • 2 T. orange juice concentrate thawed, frozen
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large saucepan, add in the cranberries, pineapple, ginger ale or beer, orange juice concentrate and ground ginger. Place over medium high heat for 9 - 14 minutes stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed. The mixture will be very thick. Remove from the heat and let cool for 20 minutes. 
  3. In a small skillet, toast walnuts for 4 to 6 minutes over medium heat. Continuously stir to avoid the walnuts burning. Remove from the heat.
  4. Open the can of orange rolls without separating the rolls. Set the icing aside. Lay the dough on parchment paper or cutting board. Carefully unroll the dough.
  5. Add dollops of the cranberry pineapple mixture on the dough. Spread it out to cover all of the dough. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top of the cranberry pineapple mixture. 
  6. Carefully roll the dough back up as tight as possible.
  7. Using a serrated knife, cut along the perforated lines. Clean the knife with a paper towel after each cut.
  8. Place the rolls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Place into the oven and bake for 9 to 13 minutes until golden brown. Spread icing on the warm rolls.
