Recipe Ingredients:
1 Cup Milk
1 Cup Butter (or marg.); melted
1/2 Cup Water
5 1/4 Cup Flour, all-purpose
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Package Yeast, dry
2 Eggs; beaten
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon rind; grated
1/2 Teaspoon Orange rind; grated
1/2 Cup Raisins, seedless
1/2 Cup Fruit, candied; chopped
1/2 Cup Nuts; chopped
3 Tablespoon Butter (or marg.); softened
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon, ground
1 Cup Sugar, powdered
2 Tablespoon Milk; to 3 tb.
1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
Cooking Directions:
Combine milk, 1 cup melted butter, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan; place over low heat just until lukewarm.
Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl; stir in warm milk mixture and eggs, mixing well. Add lemon and orange rind, raisins, fruit, and nuts; mix well. Cover dough, and refrigerate overnight.
Place chilled dough on a floured surface; roll itno an 18x12" rectangel; spread with 3 tablespoons soft butter. Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter.
Beginning with long edge, roll up dough jellyroll fashion, pinching edges to seal; if ends are smaller than remainider of roll, trim off about 1 inch. Place roll on a large greased cookie sheet, and shape into a ring (it should resemble a large doughnut). Brush ends of roll with water, and pinch together to seal.
Using kitchen shears, make cuts in dough every inch around ring, cutting 2/3 of the way through roll at each cut. Gently turn each piece of dough on its side, slightly overlapping the previous piece.
Let rise in a warm place, uncovered, 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and vanilla; drizzle over hot ring. Decorate with candied cherry halves.
