- 3/4 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 teaspoons all purpose or unbleached flour
- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel

- 1/4 teaspoon allspice or cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Instructions

Step1Let dough rise as directed on package. Meanwhile, line cookie sheet with parchment paper or generously grease.
-
Step2In medium bowl, combine cranberries, flour and orange peel; mix well. In small bowl, combine sugar and allspice.

Step3Roll dough to form 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread with margarine. Sprinkle evenly with sugar mixture. Spread cranberry mixture evenly over sugar mixture. Starting with long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch seam to seal. Place, seam side up, on paper-lined cookie sheet.

Turn cut sides out so they face up, forming a heart shape. (See photo). Cover with greased plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, 50 to 60 minutes.
