Bejeweled Cranberry Orange Rolls are the perfect brunch or breakfast for those who love baking, but don’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. I love easy brunch ideas, and I am grateful for any shortcuts I can take.
These Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls are the perfect brunch or breakfast item. All the cinnamon roll dough is perfectly flaky, filled with crunchy walnuts, sweet pineapple and all embedded in a flavorful orange aroma! I like to make them on a weekend, when we are all home so we can enjoy a relaxed morning in the kitchen. This is a great recipe to make with your little ones, as the instructions are easy and you only need a handful of ingredients.

Bejeweled Cranberry Orange Rolls are a flavor bomb, combining tropical pineapple and orange with fragrant ginger in a flaky roll.
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple undrained (from 8-oz can)
- 1/2 cup strong ginger beer or ginger ale
- 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1 can 13.9 oz Pillsbury™ Cinnabon™ refrigerated orange rolls with orange icing
-
Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
-
In 2-quart saucepan, cook cranberries, pineapple, ginger beer, orange juice concentrate and ginger over medium-high heat 10 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed and mixture is very thick. Remove from heat; cool 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, toast walnuts over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
-
Open can of dough; do not separate rolls. Set icing aside.
-
Carefully unroll dough onto cutting board, being careful not to separate. Spread cooled cranberry mixture evenly on dough; sprinkle with walnuts. Carefully reroll dough. With serrated knife, cut each roll at perforations, wiping blade of knife after each for clean cuts. Place rolls about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet, reshaping rolls if necessary.
-
Bake 9 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Spread icing evenly over warm rolls.
