JAM ROLY-POLY
The cylindrical shape of the roly-poly recalls the days when puddings were cooked in cloths instead of bowls. The pudding is a sheet of dough that has been slathered with jam or marmalade, rolled up, and then baked on a rack in a pan filled with hot water.

JAM ROLY POLY
This is my husband's favorite dessert, and I have to admit to having a fondness for it myself. We love it warm with hot custard sauce. It's one of those economical desserts made up from things most people readily have in their cupboards. More comfort food.

NANNY'S NURSERY BAKED JAM ROLY POLY PUDDING
One of the mainstay recipes of Nanny's culinary repertoire for Nursery puddings, a classic British baked Jam Roly Poly - you cannot beat it! And, not just for children either, but "big" children, especially men love this pudding with lashings of custard! This pudding can be steamed as well as baked, but I much prefer the baked version for taste and ease. If you find shredded suet hard to obtain, put a block of butter in the freezer and grate it when it has frozen - this is the best substitute I know - it's the small grains or flakes of suet/butter that gives the pastry its rise and texture. I find the best jams for this delectable pudding are raspberry, plum and High Dumpsy Dearie; I have this recipe posted on Zaar: Recipe #253728. However, any other jam would be fine, depending on what you have available, and golden syrup is also delicious. Feel free to use vegetarian shredded suet as I often do, it is lighter than shredded beef suet, although not as traditional.

JAM ROLY POLY
This is a good old-fashioned recipe. I think from what I could gather from my Mother and Grandmother, Australians made Jam Roly Poly from left over savoury, usually, or sweet pastry. The purpose was not to waste anything, especially during and after the war years. If you have left over pastry you can use that instead of the recipe below. This was a recipe that my Mum used when she wanted to fill the stomachs of the stockmen and shearers. Warning the Roly Poly it will caramelise. Do not use the glaze with you are making a Roly Poly from left over sweet pastry.

JAM ROLY POLY
Grandma would also steam or boil this pudding. She made a large pleat in some greaseproof paper or a clean tea towel to allow for expansion. Then, she wrapped the pudding loosely, tying each end with some kitchen string (like a christmas cracker), She then boiled or steamed the pudding for 2 hours until cooked. If you find shredded suet hard to obtain, put a block of butter in the freezer and grate it when it has frozen.
