Cherry Rolls
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to make. The unique combination of poppy seed dough and cherry filling is exactly what makes these crescent rolls so special. Have you ever tried such rolls? If not, let me share with you an easy recipe for cherry-filled crescent rolls. My childhood friend treated me to these rolls during our last meeting. She called them "freckled" rolls. I love poppy seeds and cherries in any form, so this recipe immediately earned a place in my cookbook.
