Delectable Fruit Roll

Yes, I use Pillsbury a lot, give me a break, I have a three year old and a nine month old!  But even if I didn't, I'd still be inclined to use these recipes.... they're just unbelievably good! This is perfect for your breakfast entree, or for brunch, and social gatherings that involve lattes and hot cocoa. This sensation, just happened to come together after looking at a similar concoction in "Seven Secrets".  It's hard to believe that there is no added sweetener in this rich roll.  It is definitely a crowd pleaser, and it's pretty easy too. She's not the most beautiful entree, but she's a winner.

Ingredients:

1 can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

1.5 Cups Date Pieces

1/4 Cup Dried berries (I use the great value brand from walmart)

2 Cups water

Directions: (photos posted below)

Put your dates in the blender

Boil 2 cups of water, and pour over dates until covered

Let sit for 5 to 7 minutes to soften

Pour off water until the tops of the dates are visible

Blend smooth, add water a little at a time if needed to blend

Roll out Crescent roll flat on an oiled cookie sheet

Spoon date spread onto crescent dough and smooth evenly 

Sprinkle dried berries onto date spread

Roll up crescent roll like a tootsie roll

Bake 15 minutes COVERED on 350 degrees

Then uncover and bake 20 minutes or until golden tan

Remove from oven and slice into about 6 portions with a sharp knife (careful, don't push down hard, or you'll mush out all of the filling... use a sawing motion gently)

Serve warm, freezes well for later!

Cover dates with hot water

Spoon onto dough, and spread evenly

Sprinkle dried berries evenly

Roll up like a tootsie roll, cover and bake

Slice with a sharp knife (don't push too hard! Use sawing motion)  The pre-made perforations will sometimes detach, but that's okay, it doesn't hurt the taste :)

 I like to serve two portions on each person's plate, that way they don't have to get up for seconds, they will definitely want more.  Enjoy!
