A few months ago I got a copy of the new Shelf Reliance Cookbook. The photo on the cover is a beautiful cinnamon roll with berries in it. I have made the recipe a couple of times now and I like it. But since I can’t leave a recipe alone I have made a few changes and I love it now.
What did I change? I used my whole wheat bread dough instead of the dough in the book. I love this bread recipe and I use it for everything. I also changed the frosting. I love cream cheese frosting but my family does not. So I switched to my stand by butter cream frosting recipe, that my dear fried Ann gave me years ago (Thanks Ann!). I had just used the end of a can of Freeze Dried Pineapple and there was all of this wonderful powder at the bottom of the can. I had a roommate in college who always to put pineapple concentrate on her cinnamon rolls, so I added it to the frosting and it turned out great.
