Sweet cherry strudel

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 cups Pitted cherries
⅔ cup Fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 tablespoon Grated orange peel
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
8 Fillo strudel leaves
½ cup Butter, melted
1 Whipped cream

Directions

Combine cherries, crumbs, sugar, orange peel and cinnamon. Set aside.

Unroll fillo leaves and place between waxed paper and under a damp towel to prevent drying. Remove two leaves; place on a sheet of waxed paper. Brush with butter. Add two more leaves; brush with butter.

Place ½ of the filling in a 3" wide strip along the short edge of the fillo leaves. Carefully, roll up, jelly roll fashion. Repeat with remaining fillo leaves and filling. Place both rolls, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet.

Brush with melted butter. Bake @ 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake 15 minutes longer or until golden brown.

Cool slightly. Serve with whipped cream. Makes 16 servings.
