Easter/Resurrection Rolls

1 package Crescent rolls
Melted butter
1 package large Marshmallows
Cinnamon
Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls. The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.

Give each child a marshmallow. This represents Jesus.

Have the child dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the oil of embalming.

Then dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar. This represents the spices used to anoint the body.

Then wrap up the coated marshmallow lightly in the crescent roll (not like the typical crescent roll up)…but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside) This represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body after death.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The oven represents the tomb – pretend like it was three days.

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloth) and discover that Jesus is no longer there, HE IS RISEN! The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll is puffed up but empty.

Pecan Pie

This is the Pecan Pie recipe that my dad used on his mission. Apparently my Grandma Claridge mailed it to him. I am typing it as it was written, at the bottom of the recipe is the missing butter and a simpler way to bake the pie.

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup Karo syrup, dark (blue bottle)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp or more vanilla
3/4 c pecans coarley broken

Mix all together adding pecans last, pour into 9 inch pie crust bake at 450 degrees for ten minutes, then 350 degrees until a silver knife inserted in the middle of pie comes out clean.

To make right use 1/3 cup melted butter - Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between outside and center of filling comes out clean. Cool before serving.
