Apricot jam is one of my favorites!

Jacques Pepin uses a lot of apricot preserves for his quick desserts. I may buy a bunch of dried apricots to make some preserves for baking with.
I bought 8 pound of peaches to can. I love canned peaches, even store bought ones, lol.

Canned peaches and pears are very good

I like to use a light syrup - so yummy. We planted 2 peach trees this year, but neither on leafed out so I will need to get a refund for those 2. The apple trees we planted are growing really good though.

Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Ever

This recipe is hands down the Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Ever. The perfect soft, fluffy, gooey cinnamon rolls are right at your fingertips. This is the only recipe you'll ever need.

Yield: 12 cinnamon rolls I always have to double the recipe

Ingredients
Dough

• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Regular Filling

• ½ cup salted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Chocolate coconut filling

· 1 cup packed brown sugar

· ⅓ Cup heavy cream

· ¾ Cup butter, divided

· 1 cup chopped roasted almonds

· 1 ¼ cups sweetened shredded coconut

· 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped



Glaze

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup salted butter, softened
• 1 to 1½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and eggs. Add in flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed.
2. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Add more flour as necessary so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be tacky, but not stick to your hands. It should be soft. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency. The amount of flour you add in bread making is always an approximation and you should go by feel.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
4. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and roll into a 12inch by 18inch rectangle.
5. Brush the dough with ½ cup melted butter. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the melted butter. Roll up tightly lengthwise so you have one long roll. Use plain dental floss or a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 one-inch slices.
6. Place the slices onto a lightly 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise 30 to 45 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake the rolls for about 14 minutes, until just kissed with brown on top.
8. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese glaze by using a hand mixer to whip together cream cheese and butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Whip in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add enough milk to achieve a drizzle-like consistency.
9. Frost the rolls while still warm. Serve immediately or cool and store. Stays good for 4 to 5 days.

Chocolate filling instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine sugar, cream, and 1⁄2 cup of the butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often, until sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour 1 cup of the sugar mixture into prepared baking dish; reserve the rest. Sprinkle almonds evenly over bottom of baking dish

2. Divide dough in half; on a lightly floured work surface, roll out each half into a 12-by-10-inch rectangle. Melt remaining ¼ cup butter in microwave. Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with coconut and chocolate. Starting at a long end, roll up each rectangle. Pinch together seams. Cut each roll crosswise into 6 slices. Place slices, cut side up, in prepared baking dish.

3. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and risen, 30 to 35 minutes.

4. Let cool in dish for 5 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter, scraping any remaining sauce from bottom of dish onto buns. Drizzle with reserved sugar mixture or top with glaze.

Stop that!

I'm making these for sure

Just wondering is the weight measurement c the same as oz ?
We only do oz or grammes here

 

[ronott1]

c is usually for Celsius, a temperature not a volume. It is also used for length, centimeters.

In a recipe, C is sometimes use for cup like 1\2 C milk.
