Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls are the perfect breakfast! Cranberry, pineapple, walnuts and ginger perfectly complement the orange cinnamon rolls!
Y’all might remember last month when I posted about the Pillsbury Bake-off® Contest, and I made a delicious Jalapeno Popper Bomb recipe. Well, that contest has ended and the category winners have been selected! I am recreating the Cozy Breakfast category winners recipe, and these Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls are to die for!
Amy Nelson created these delicious Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls based off the memory of a recipe her mother always made during the holidays. It was a congealed cranberry salad full of chopped fresh cranberries, orange, celery, pecans, pineapple and jello; her family LOVED it! After visiting her sister one year, she was served Pillsbury Orange Rolls, and they loved them! Amy whipped up this special recipe for the 48th Bake-off Contest, and I can see why it was a category winner!

These are really actually super easy to make, too. You make the cranberry mixture on the stove top, then add it to the cinnamon roll dough. Roll it up, cut it up, then bake it- voila, done! My family went crazy over these Cranberry-Orange Rolls, so I can see why they were the clear winner! Be sure to tune into The Kitchen on Saturday, 2/24 at 11am ET/10am CT on Food Network to see the official grand prize winner revealed! #PillsburyBakeOff #MadeAtHome

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.

I could not find cranberries this time of year so I used 3/4 cup of Craisin cranberries. I first covered them in water & microwaved for a minue then made the filling as directed. They were delicious!
Allyson says
I am so happy that worked out for you!
Amy Nelson says
I have wondered how dried cranberries would work! I actually never even knew you can buy frozen cranberries, but they are in the grocery freezer with other frozen fruits. They work just fine, too.
Barbara says
I cheated and used cranberry salad from our grocery deli. It had the pineapple and walnuts already in it (and celery, but you couldn’t taste it). I added a little ginger and proceeded with assembly. A much quicker end to a fantastic recipe! I’ll make it more often since my version doesn’t take as long.
Allyson says
Wow that is so lucky! Great idea!
