Instructions
For the Sugared Cranberries
- Using a medium bowl, stir together granulated sugar and hot water. Add cranberries. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, drain cranberries and toss them in sparkling sugar. Spread cranberries out and let dry for 1 hour.
For the Cinnamon Pecan Wreath
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent dough and stack both sheets on top of each other. Roll dough into an 11”x18” rectangle.
- Using a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and chopped pecans.
- Spread sugar mixture evenly on top of dough.
- Starting with a long edge, roll the dough up into a tight log. Press seams together to seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut log in half lengthwise. Place pieces cut side up next to each other and carefully twist pieces around each other. Transfer dough onto the prepared baking sheet and pull the ends together to create a circle; pinch ends together to seal.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown in color.
For the Glaze
- Using a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Transfer glaze into a piping bag with a small round tip or a ziptop bag with one corner snipped off. Once wreath has cooled, drizzle glaze on top.
- Garnish top of wreath with sugared cranberries before serving.
