Instructions

To Make the Rolls: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low until it reaches 95°F to 100°F. Pour warm milk into bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Sprinkle yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of the granulated sugar over milk and stir to combine. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add softened butter, eggs, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar; beat on low speed just until combined.

Continue beating on low speed, and gradually add flour until well combined. Increase speed to medium, and beat until a soft dough begins to form, about 3 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until dough is soft and supple and begins to pull away from bow, 7 to 9 minutes.

Scrape dough onto a lightly floured work surface; knead 3 or 4 times. Shape dough into a ball, and transfer to a lightly greased (with cooking spray) large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch dough down, and place on a heavily floured work surface; roll dough into an 18- x 14-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup Woodhill Cottage Strawberry Conserve over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edges. Stir together brown sugar and 1 tablespoon flour, in a small bowl. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over Strawberry Conserve.

Starting at 1 long side, roll up dough, jelly roll style, gently pushing and pressing ends to maintain an 18-inch length. Cut into 15 (1-inch-thick) slices. Place rolls, cut side down, into buttered muffin tins. Cover loosely with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rolls rise in a warm place, free from drafts, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake until golden brown and dough in center is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.

To Make the Glaze: While rolls bake, whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, Strawberry Conserve, lemon zest and salt, vanilla, in a small bowl, until smooth. Brush glaze over warm strawberry rolls and serve warm.
