Valentine’s Day Recipes

Sprinkle with Cherry-Almond Filling. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly as for

jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal; carefully roll back and forth to stretch to 26-inch rope.

Place, seam side down, on greased baking sheet.

Form into ring; pinch ends together to seal. Shape into heart. With sharp knife, cut

slits starting at outside edge of heart, 2/3 of the way through dough, at 3/4-inch

intervals.

Turn each section on its side to show filling. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place

until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; cool on

wire racks. Drizzle with Almond Glaze.

Cherry-Almond Filling: Put maraschino cherries between paper towels to remove

excess moisture. In medium bowl, combine cherries, almonds, and sugar. Stir to

blend.

Almond Glaze: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract.

Stir until smooth.
