Apricot Roll (Waterbul)

1. 1

   To make pastry and filling: Preheat oven to 475u00b0F. On a lightly floured board, roll out pastry to a 14x11-inch rectangle.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine jam and almonds; spread over pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch strip on 1 long side uncovered. Brush uncovered pastry strip with egg yolk.

3. 3

   Beginning with the jam-covered long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch edge of roll to seal; press ends together to seal. With seam-side down, score top of rolled pastry at 1/4 to 1/2-inch intervals.

4. 4

   Rinse a large baking sheet in cold water; place roll on wet baking sheet. Bake in center of oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

5. 5

   To make glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine cornstarch and sugar. Gradually stir in orange juice. Add orange peel, butter and sherry. Place over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. Continue stirring until thickened. Remove orange peel. Brush hot glaze over baked apricot roll; serve warm.
