What each ingredient does

Jam
Provides the sweet, fruity filling and moisture inside the rolled pudding.

The step that matters

Rolling the paste up tightly. A tight roll keeps the jam inside and prevents gaps or air pockets that let filling leak out during boiling. Wrapping the cloth firmly also helps the pudding hold its shape.
