  1. 1 Place crushed pineapple with juice, pears, carrots, flaked coconut, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1-inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove the jars from the pot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart; cool undisturbed, at least 12 hours. Press the top of each lid with a finger to ensure that the seal is tight. Store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Unroll 1 cinnamon roll dough and cut in half. Roll 1 half to form the "body." Rotate roll so the outer end of roll is facing downward; this will form the bunny's "front legs." Cut off 1/3 of the remaining dough and roll it up to form the "tail." Roll up the last 2/3 of the dough to about the halfway point to form the "head." Slice through remaining unrolled portion and fan out the pieces to form the "ears."
  3. 3 To attach the "tail" and "head" to the "body", rub away any cinnamon coating, wet dough, and press the pieces together. Spread out the "ears" and pinch them at the tips to shape. Transfer the "bunny" to the prepared baking sheet by carefully lifting with a spatula or scraper. Repeat with remaining rolls.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Slide parchment paper with "bunnies" onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
  5. 5 Spread glaze onto warm "bunnies," following the pattern of the swirls and ears. Press a raisin into the center of the swirl on the head to form the "eyes."
