Cherry Almond Sweet Rolls with White Chocolate Glaze

Sweet rolls can be made in any variety of  flavors, and this recipe will work equally well with any flavor you choose. I find these rolls do best with a spreadable fruit or in a pinch a type of chunky preserves rather than jelly. After baking the almond paste gives the sweet rolls a chewy texture, that’s so incredibly appealing. This recipe is suitable for bakers of all skill levels, and the perfect accompaniment for a cup of hot tea or coffee. How to make Cherry Almond Sweet Rolls: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)
