2/3
cup sifted confectioners' sugar
-
1/4
cup milk
-
1 cup
dried tart cherries, divided
-
1/4
cup coarsely chopped pecans
-
1 loaf

METHOD
In
a small mixing bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and milk; mix well.
Pour
mixture into a 9 inch deep dish pie pan.
Sprinkle
1/2 cup of the cherries and pecans evenly over sugar mixture.
On
a lightly floured surface, roll bread dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle;
brush with melted butter.
In
a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough.
Top
with remaining 1/2 cup cherries.
Roll
up rectangle, jelly roll style, starting from a long side; pinch to seal
edges. With a sharp knife, cut roll into 12 slices.
Place
slices, cut side down, on top of mixture in pan.
Let
rise, covered, in a warm place 30 minutes, or until nearly double.
(Or,
cover with waxed paper, then with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours.
Before baking, let chilled rolls stand, covered, 20 minutes at room temperature.)
Bake,
uncovered, in a preheated 375 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes for unchilled
rolls and 25 to 30 minutes for chilled rolls, or until golden brown.
If
necessary, cover rolls with foil the last 10 minutes to prevent over browning.
Let cool in pan 1 to 2 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter.
Serve
warm.
Makes
12 rolls.
