Cranberry Swirl Biscotti image

What do you get when you cross cranberries and cherry preserves? Just make these and see! The combination of the two is delicious and festive and a dessert you won't likely forget! I have made these with almond extract and it's very good that way also. *Note: These are not the traditional shape, rather they are shaped like a pinwheel. Source: Taste of Home

Time 1h40m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup cherry preserves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the cranberries, preserves and cinnamon. Cover and process until smooth; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Spread each with cranberry filling; roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side.
  • Place seam side down 4 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Carefully transfer logs to a cutting board; cool for 5 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut into 1/2-in. slices. Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes longer or until centers are firm and dry. Remove to wire racks.
  • In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm biscotti. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
