Cherry Almond Tea Ring Recipe
Ingredients:
- Filling
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 (16.5 ounce) can Bing or Royal Anne
- Cherries, drained, reserving juice
- Combine sugar and cornstarch in small saucepan. Gradually add reserved cherry juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Add reserved cherries. Let stand until cool.
- Tea Ring
- 1 (16 ounce) loaf frozen bread dough
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- Glaze
- 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Mix well.
- Topping
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
- Stretch and roll out thawed bread dough into a 15 x 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread butter or margarine over dough. Spread filling down the center of dough. Beginning at 15-inch side, fold over and pinch edges. Stretch roll to make even. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal well.
- Place dough, with sealed edge down, on a greased pizza pan and shape into a ring. With scissors, snip almost to center at 1-inch intervals along outside edge. Twist and turn each section on its side. Let rise until double in size, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees F. If it browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Cool on baking rack. Drizzle with glaze and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Makes 15 servings.
