Jam roly-poly is an iconic British pudding dating back to the early 19th century. It was also called shirt-sleeve pudding, dead man's arm or dead man's leg.
The name 'Shirt sleeve pudding' came about because it was often rolled and steamed in an old shirt sleeve.
It became an 80's school dinner classic pudding along with semolina, bread pudding and apple crumble.
The Jam roly-poly is made with a suet pastry smothered with jam, rolled, steamed and is best served with custard.
You can use any flavour jam you fancy in this Roly-poly.
Instead of rolling the pudding in tin foil why not do what I did here, and cut the roly-poly into rounds and put in a small baking tray. Cover with foil and cook the same way.
