Another fond holiday memory is Orange Bow Rolls on Easter. These yummy, fruity rolls remind me of spring. I especially love pulling out the handwritten family cookbook that my Mom gave me when I went off to college! The cookbook has since been typed (on an old school typewriter no less) with many additional recipes added, but the original, with my Mom's own handwriting is a treasure for sure. This recipe, from my Grandmother Haupert is a treasure too! I love these rolls and just had to share.
I have only made these a few times by myself, as I have to admit, they kind of intimidated me. However, this time it went really well so maybe I don't have anything to be afraid of afterall. The scary part was always tying the knot. So here is a simple picture tutorial.
NOTE: I cut my pieces a bit shorter than the recipe calls for and stretched them a bit as I tied them. It made a slightly smaller roll but I kind of like them.
Cut strips
Fold over
Tuck end thru opening
Pull thru to form not
Lay gently on greased baking sheet

I loved reading about your food memories with holidays. I have a lot of the same feelings about the Jewish holidays. My mom also made my sister and I a cookbook when we went to college and we both still use it today for our favorite family recipes. These rolls sound great! I don't think I've ever had orange-flavored rolls. YUM!
