Recipe Instructions
Thaw the bread dough and roll out to jelly roll size. While the bread dough is thawing simmer the apricots with 1/2 c. sugar in water until soft. Drain the water and mash them. Brush the dough with the melted butter. Combine the remaining 1/2 sugar, the brown sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the melted butter. Spread the apricot mix last over the top. Roll up the bread dough and cut into 3/4 - 1 inch thick slices for rolls. Put them in a greased baking dish with sides touching. Let rise for another 45 minutes to an hour and then bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. While the rolls are baking combine the icing ingredients and set aside. When you take the rolls out, let them cool for 5 minutes and then drizzle icing on top.
MeMe Wisdom about being a grandparent
When you first have your own children, you spend a good bit of your time in day-to-day parenting. It may seem mundane at the time, however the basic skills are needed to raise those children to be productive, self-sufficient adults later in life. But when your time comes to be a grandparent, the rules of parenting, for the most part, go out the window and your life changes for the better. A grandparent can spoil, pamper and love their grandchildren. It is a grand finale to life.
