re:Boiled apple roly-poly

Hoping someone can help with a recipe for this one.



My mother used to make this with a suet based dough, rolled out to about 1 cm thick.



Apple and cloves were the filling...rolled and sewn up in a pudding cloth and boiled for a couple of hours..



I've seen several recipes but they were in the main. baked or steamed..The boiled one is the one that I'm after.



Hoping someone out there can remember, regards Ray (Victoria, Australia)

JAM ROLY POLY PUDDING (Source:- Edmonds Cookbook)

225g (8 ozs) flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt cold water to mix 125g (4ozs) grated suet jam (raspberry or apricot)

Sift flour, salt and baking powder, chop in grated suet and mix to a stiff dough with cold water. Roll pastry into a oval shape about 6mm (1/4 in) thick. Spread jam over, leaving a margin around the edges. Wet edges, roll up and seal the ends. Scald and flour a pudding cloth (an old tea towel does the job fine) put in the dough. Tie the ends with string, leaving room for pudding to swell. Boil 2 hours. Serve with custard or jam sauce.
