Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup water
2 cups cranberries
1 tsp grated orange peel
2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
4-1/2 to 5 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
melted butter
cream cheese frosting:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp milk

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring 3/4 cup sugar and water to a boil. Add cranberries; return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until cranberries begin to pop, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes longer or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in orange peel; cover and chill.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the next six ingredients, the remaining sugar and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Roll into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle; brush with butter. Spread cranberry filling over dough to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly roll style, starting at a long side.
Cut into 15 slices; place, cut side down, in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to a wire rack to cool.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese frosting ingredients until smooth; spread the frosting over the warm rolls. Yield: 15 servings.
