  Yum. Gotta love a jam roly poly. I always thought they'd be tricky to make - steaming puddings always puts me off a recipe, but this method was very simple and came out really well!

  the whole family agreed that this pud was delcious. we poured on more warmed jam at the end along with some homemade custard. the jam roly-poly stuck to the wrapper so came out a bit messy but still tasted gorgeous.

  Really nice texture and easy to make, but mine stuck to the wrapping as well. It wasn't sweet enough for me, even though I added more jam, so next time I'll add some sugar to the dough.

  I really liked this, it was so easy to make. I used a sugar-free jam, so apart from the custard I served it with, it was a sugar-free dessert. The texture was excellent, it plumped up nicely in the oven and was fluffy, not stodgy.

  I made this for my Dad and he said it was as good as his mam used to make. I found it really easy and straight forward although I might warm through some extra jam next time to pour over the top because Dad said there wasnt quite enough.

  Never made a roly poly before but this was nice and simple to make. Added more jam than listed and still think it needed a bit more, but it puffed up nicely and wasn't stodgy. Make sure you do grease the greaseproof paper with butter before you wrap it as it will stick otherwise. I didn't and left half behind on the paper! Looked a mess but still tasted nice.

  My partner made this for the first time and we used fresh suet from our local butcher and it was amazing! He found it easy enough to make (and I did the cleaning!) and he enjoyed himself doing it. Absolutely beautiful!

  Used the recipe when making a Syrup and Sultana Steamed Pudding, Replaced the jam with Golden Granulated sugar and Sultanas. Buttered a Pudding Basin and added Golden Syrup prior to adding the dough. Only filled to 3/4's to allow it to rise. Cooked for 80 minutes at 150 fan assisted. Served with custard. Excellent

  I made this for my family and they said it was better than what they had at school.I put 3 times as much jam in because the first time I made it ,it wasn't sweet enough also the pastry can be bland so make sure you scrape all of your vanilla seeds in! To solve the pudding sticking to the paper i put loads od lurpak on it and it worked a treat! Try this recipe it's yummy and delicious!

  Made this and over half was eaten immediately. Didn't have a vanilla pod so used some extract instead. My son even ate the remaining portion cold when he came in from school!

  Loved this recipe. Was so easy to make. Did add a little sugar to the recipe as suggested in reviews and more jam, but was delicious. My kids and hubby loved it and already have made it twice in a week for them aswell as passing the recipe on to friends

  I've made this recipie 4 times and each time gone down a storm! Easy to do I made by rubbing the butter and flour by hand as I don't have a food processor I just guess the amount of jam making sure its generous without risking too much for it to just leak out everywhere! I don't like desserts too sweet so this is perfect as there's no sugar added to the dough, don't wrap too tightly and ten minutes before done unwrap the top slightly as this avoids sticking, will keep this recipie as one of my favourites and will use for ever!

  For me to make something and for it to come out like it should is bordering on a miracle. This jam roly poly actually looked like the picture, tasted great and was easy to make! After reading previous reviews I added a little more jam and this was a wise move, so be sure to add a little more jam! A great easy to make pudding and came out delicious.... Scores from the family out of 5.... Anna - 5 Jamie - 5 Dad - 4 (suggested even more jam!) Mum - 5 Enjoy it!
