Instructions

  1. 1 Blend raisins and orange juice in a blender or food processor until smooth; transfer mixture to a pot. Blend blueberries in blender or food processor until pureed; add to raisin mixture. Stir pectin into fruit mixture and bring to a boil. Mix sugar into fruit mixture; boil, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 more minutes.
  2. 2 Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  3. 3 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. 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 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). 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."
