Notes

Slice and enjoy! Serve rolls with a bit of warmed Raspberry Preserves. Let guests slather a bit of it on their warm rolls. Such a fantastic combination of flavors. I have been known to add a bit of pineapple juice to the glaze mixture when I have it on hand. Pineapple pairs so nicely with ham. Add about a tablespoon.

    Holy jeebus! These are baking as I type but I have to tell you, the glaze smelled SO incredible that I *might* have licked the last little bit out of the pan!

    Love the recipe except for the raspberry jam , think either peach apricot jam , pineapple ice cream topping would be my choice as a warmed dip.
