Orange-Nut Ring

This glorious Orange-Nut Ring, originally from this post, is now the official letter "O" of the 2011 Picnic Game at Months of Edible Celebrations. Why? Because every party should have a trashy, somewhat disreputable member! And this I have provided.





Orange-Nut Ring [1967, Jiffy Cooking]

2 packages refrigerated orange or cinnamon Danish rolls with icing (16 rolls)
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Separate rolls and arrange 1 package (8 rolls) flat side down, around bottom of ungreased 6 1/2-cup ring mold. Stagger remaining package of rolls on top of first layer, covering seams of rolls on bottom layer.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes. Invert on serving plate while warm. Spread top and sides with frosting included in packages. Decorate with nuts. Serve warm with butter [Don't actually do this, please. Please. I can't be responsible for the results]. Makes 8 servings.

Serve with sliced Canadian-style bacon browned lightly in a skillet.
