Orange and Cream Cheese Palascintas

1 batch crepes (about 16)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
Sauce
2/3 cup orange marmalade
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons of grated lemon rind
With spoon, blend filling ingredients and beat until light and fluffy.
Spread each crepe, brown side out, almost to edge with filling and
roll. Place in well-buttered chafing dish or skillet, seam side down.
Make sauce by combining ingredients in saucepan over medium
heat. Boil gently until well combined and slightly thickened, about
five minutes. Pour over crepes and heat until sizzling.

Variation: Substitute apricot or peach jam for marmalade, or serve
with hot, spiced applesauce instead of sauce.
