Cinnamon sticks Colored plastic wrap
Whole nutmeg

Cut oranges in half and remove the pulp as best you can. Dry the oranges in

brown sugar into the empty half shell. Use cinnamon sticks for legs along
the sides (6 to 8 depending on the size of the orange). Just push into the

A whole nutmeg is pushed into the sugar as the head with 2 whole cloves for

Wrap in tissue paper or colored plastic wrap with instruction to just drop

Categories : Diabetic Breadmaker
Vegetables

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pk Active dry yeast (1/4 oz.)
1/2 c Warm water
-(110-115 degrees F.)
1 c Milk
3/4 c Shortening or margarine
1 1/4 c Leftover mashed potatoes
1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Salt
8 c To 8 1/2 C A-p flour,
-divided
2 Eggs, beaten

Dissolve yeast in water; set aside. In a saucepan, combine milk,
shortening, and potatoes; cook and stir over low heat just until
shortening is melted. Remove from the heat and place in a large bowl
with sugar, salt, 2 cups of flour and the yeast mixture. Add eggs;
mix well. Cover loosely and allow to stand for 2 hours (the dough
will be like a sponge). Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make
a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth
and elastic, about 6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once
to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled,
about 1 hour. Punch down and divide into thirds. On a floured surface
roll each portion into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 12 pie
shape wedges. Beginning at the wide end, roll up each wedge. Place
rolls, point side down, on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise
30 minutes or until nearly doubled. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15
minutes or until golden. Yield: 3 dozen.
