CRANBERRY, HAM AND SWISS CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut along the perforated lines to separate it into individual triangles. Arrange each triangle on a work surface with the short side closest to you.
• Place about 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce on each triangle and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch of the tip bare. Place a piece of ham on the short side of the dough on top of the cranberry sauce and top with a slice of cheese. Wrap the sides of the ham over the short ends of the cheese to keep it intact.
• Start from the short side of the dough and roll it up and over to encase the ham and cheese. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is slightly oozing, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve with Dijon mustard.

MINI HAM, SWISS, RYE SANDWICHES WITH CRANBERRY ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; saute until well-browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add rosemary and cloves; continue to saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in cranberry sauce, and simmer until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside. (Cranberry-Onion Relish can be cooled, covered and refrigerated up to 2 weeks ahead.)
• To assemble: Working in batches, lay breads on a work surface and spread with about 1/4 tsp. mustard and 1 tsp. cranberry relish. Top half the breads with a portion of ham, cheese and arugula (optional), then the remaining bread slice. Halve each sandwich on the diagonal, sticking each half with a toothpick. (Sandwiches can be covered with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap and can remain at room temperature for 2 hours.)

HAM & SWISS CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Combine all ingredients (except rolls) in a bowl. I use an electric mixer to get it well blended.
• Open the crescent tubes and separate each roll into 4 rectangles. On a parchment lined or nonstick baking sheet lay the rectangles out to form a circle. There are images here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/121034308711924287/.
• Place filling in a ring shape on top of the dough circle. Fold the dough over to cover the filling.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until crescent dough looks done.

CRANBERRY HAM & CHEESE APPETIZERS (OR WRAPS)

Steps:

• To tortillas, spread cream cheese all the way around to edges. Sprinkle with cranberries, and chopped green onion. Lay ham slices to cover top.
• Roll up tightly, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least one hour.
• Eat as wraps or to make pinwheels: Trim off the very ends of each log, then slice each log into 8 slices and lay flat. Place a half cherry (if using) onto the center of each pinwheel. Arrange decoratively onto a serving platter.
