I chose this one for three reasons.
- I have been craving some orange rolls lately. The sweet/tart combo is tasty as can be.
- I've been thinking of them because my wonderful mother used to make these all the time at Christmas. I remember her dropping them off at my grandparents house when she did a twelve days of Christmas for them. She probably did it for others, too.
- Oranges are on sale most places. 'Tis the season to be jolly and to have oranges in season.
- Okay, I know I said three, but I kept thinking of more. This recipe is easy, because you get to use the classic but ingenious frozen dinner rolls. Yummy food in a jiffy.
So enjoy these easy orange rolls, and maybe spread some Christmas cheer by sharing with a neighbor.
