  • 1 (8-oz/227-g) package of crescent rolls (8 rolls)
  • 8 tsp/40 mL raspberry preserves
  • 1-1/2 tbsp/22.5 mL water

    Watkins Orange Extract
Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C. Unroll dough and flatten into 8 triangles. Place 1 tsp/5 mL of preserves on each triangle, being careful to keep edges free of preserves. Fold triangle over once to form another triangle and seal edges tightly to prevent preserves from seeping out during baking. Form each triangle into a crescent. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.

Orange Glaze: While crescents are baking, mix water and confectioner's sugar. Add in orange extract one teaspoon at a time and mix until smooth. Fill decorating bag (or zip lock bag with corner cut off) with glaze and drizzle over crescents while still warm.

Makes 8 crescents.
