I do wish I had a name for this marvelous cook..I refer to these recipes as the Farmhouse collection or the Farmhouse Wall collection. It may even been a compilation of many cooks through the years that added their recipes to the wall of this farmhouse, I don't know. But I do know what it treasure it was to find all these old recipes on the wall. So if it was one cook or a whole generational family of cooks through the years..I do appreciate the legacies you left behind.

  • Step 2
    Combine Jam, marmalade, raisins, nuts and grated citrus peels. * Jam from the pantry...Uh I don't know if they sell apricot-pineapple jam or if we have to make it ourselves to do this recipe. When testing this recipe I used apricot jam with pineapple ice cream topping mixed together.*
  • Step 3
    Roll each ball on heavily floured surface or between two sheets of wax paper into a rectangle 1/4" thick, working one ball at a time. Keep rest of the dough in refrigerator until needed.
  • Step 4
    Spread jam mixture over dough. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place on un-greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  • Step 5
    Bake at 375^ for about 40 minutes until sides are crisp to the touch and lightly browned.
