Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Berries and Cream Pull-aparts

I saw this on Pinterest the other day and thought it would be a super easy and super yummy little treat. Aaaaaand, I was right. I had some blackberry jam in the fridge so I used that but you could use just about anything. Another thing I did was to add a little butter on top of the rolls to help them brown a little bit better. And, really....butter makes everything better, right? Give these a try if you need a quick little snack after dinner some evening.

Berries and Cream Pull-aparts



1 11-ounce foil pan of Sister Shubert's Parker House Rolls ~ thawed and uncooked
6 ounces cream cheese ~ room temperature
1/2 cup Blackberry jam (or any kind of jam)
A little butter for melting on top (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove thawed rolls from pan in one piece.

Slice through the rolls horizontally.

Spread cream cheese on the bottom portion of the rolls.

Spread jam on top of the cream cheese.

Replace the top half of the rolls and carefully place them back in the foil pan they came in.

Bake for 20 - 30 minutes until lightly browned. (About halfway through baking, rub a stick of butter on top to aid in browning.)

Allow to sit for 10 minutes before pulling rolls apart. 



Okay...here's what you need. And a little bit of butter if you're going to put that on top of the rolls. Totally your call.
