Big Mama loves anything sweet and red, just like herself!
Here's her recipe for her favourite pudding, Jam Roly Poly.

250g/8oz self-raising flour
pinch salt

4 tbsp raspberry or strawberry jam, warmed
a little milk

Method:
1. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt. 2. Add the suet and sufficient water to create a soft but not sticky dough. 3. Turn onto a floured board and roll out to a rectangle about 200x300mm / 8x12in. 4. Brush the pastry with the warmed jam, leaving a 10mm / ½in border all around. 5. Fold in the border and brush it with milk. 6. With a short side towards you, roll up the pastry loosely and seal the ends well. 7. Place on a greased baking sheet with the sealed edge underneath. 8. Brush over with a little milk and sprinkle with caster sugar. 9. Bake in the oven at 200°C / 400°F / Gas 6 for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. 10.
