Roly-poly
Ingredients
Directions
Remove fiber and skin from the suet and chop it finely.
In a bowl, mix the chopped suet with salt and flour.
Gradually add cold water until the mixture sticks together.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 inch on a well-floured surface.
Spread jam thickly over the rolled-out dough.
Roll the dough up tightly and tie it in a well-floured cloth, leaving room for it to swell.
Place the wrapped roll in a pot of boiling water and boil for 2 hours, or steam for 2.5 hours.
Serve hot with sauce.
