Health and fertility benefits of Peach Chutney Pinwheels

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

1/4 cup SMUCKER'S® Peach Preserves
2 teaspoons finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon water
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Crescent Dough Sheet
1/4 cup cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

In 1-quart saucepan, stir together preserves, onion, water, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture begins to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.
If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles. Firmly press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.
Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese over each rectangle, to within 1/2 inch of edge of 1 short end of rectangle. Stir vinegar into cooled chutney. Spread 1/4 of chutney (about 1 tablespoon) over cream cheese on each rectangle. Starting at short end covered with cream cheese, gently roll up each rectangle. Pinch seam to seal. Place rolls on cutting board or large plate; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 20 minutes for easier slicing.
