Best Ever Sweet Rolls

I got this recipe when with a rolling pin set that i got from qvc in '96. they make huge rolls. i almost always put fruit in them as well - - cherry pie filling, cooked apples, dried apricots and the like. it makes way too many rolls for my family to enjoy while they are fresh, so once i roll them up and cut them, i only cook 3 of them and the rest go into the freezer. then, i can take a few out at a time, thaw them & allow them to raise, then pop them into the oven.
