Description
The Raspberry Orange Pastry Ring is so good, and so easy. It’s decadent, tender, and sweet. This fruit filled pastry is perfect for entertaining too!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of “grands” crescent rolls (the large kind) – I used a 12 oz can
- 1/2 cup of good raspberry jam/preserves (not jelly)
- 1 teaspoon of orange zest
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet or half sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Toast the almonds on a separate, dry sheet pan while the oven is heating. It will take about 4-5 minutes. Watch them carefully, they burn quickly! Set almonds aside.
- Zest and juice the orange. You’ll need about 1 teaspoon of zest and 2 tablespoons of juice.
- Put the raspberry jam and orange zest in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
- Pop open the crescent rolls and try to remove from the canister in one piece. Place on a flat surface like your counter or the back of a cookie sheet. Pinch together all the perforations in the dough so the jam filling won’t leak out.
- Spread the jam mixture on one half of the dough, the long way, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edge. Fold the other side over the jam and pinch the long edge together.
- Carefully pick up and move the dough to the parchment lined sheet pan, placing the middle down first and curving the ends around to form a circle. Pinch the edges of the ends together so you have a continuous circle shape.
- Use your kitchen scissors to cut small slices a few inches apart into the top side of the dough. This will allow steam to escape as the pastry ring is baking. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for 15 minutes or so before icing.
- Mix together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Pour in a small stream over the pasty ring, moving back and forth to create a pretty design. You don’t want to cover the entire pastry ring in icing. Sprinkle the toasted almonds on top and dig in!
Notes
You can use any flavor jam you like!
