'''Jam roly-poly''' is a traditional British dessert that originated during the 19th century. It is also known by other names such as '''dead man's arm''' or '''dead man's leg''' due to its distinctive cylindrical shape.

== History ==
The origins of jam roly-poly can be traced back to the [[Victorian era]], where it was a popular dessert among the working class. It was often served in school dinners and was a staple in the diet of the poor. The dessert was traditionally steamed in a cloth, which gave it its characteristic shape and texture. The name "roly-poly" comes from the method of rolling the dough around the jam filling.

== Preparation ==
To prepare jam roly-poly, a dough is made from [[suet]], flour, and a leavening agent such as baking powder. The dough is then rolled out and spread with a layer of jam, typically [[raspberry jam]]. The dough is then rolled up, similar to a Swiss roll, and then baked or steamed. The result is a moist, sweet dessert that is often served with [[custard]].

== Variations ==
There are several variations of jam roly-poly. Some recipes use different types of jam, such as [[strawberry jam]] or [[blackcurrant jam]]. Others add additional ingredients to the dough, such as dried fruit or spices. There are also variations in the method of cooking, with some recipes calling for the dessert to be baked rather than steamed.

== Cultural significance ==
Jam roly-poly has a significant place in British culinary history. It is often associated with comfort food and nostalgia for childhood. The dessert has been featured in various forms of media, including literature and television. It is also a popular choice in traditional British pubs and restaurants.
