III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Making the CBD-Infused Suet Pastry

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, shredded suet, and a pinch of salt. If desired, add 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops to the dry mixture and mix well to distribute the CBD oil.
  • Gradually add cold water to the dry mixture, mixing with a fork or pastry blender, until a soft and pliable dough is formed. Be cautious not to overmix.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest.

B. Rolling Out the Pastry and Adding the Jam

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a steamer or a large pot with a steamer insert.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled suet pastry into a rectangle of approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
  3. Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the rolled-out pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the pastry into a log shape, ensuring the jam is securely enclosed.

C. Rolling and Steaming the Jam Roly-Poly

  1. Place the rolled Jam Roly-Poly onto a sheet of greased baking parchment, ensuring the seam side is facing down.
  • Wrap the Jam Roly-Poly securely in the greased baking parchment, twisting the ends to create a tight seal.
  • Place the wrapped Jam Roly-Poly onto the steamer or into a large pot with a steamer insert. Steam the pudding for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, ensuring there is enough water in the steamer
  • Once the Jam Roly-Poly is steamed and cooked, carefully remove it from the steamer or pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Unwrap the greased baking parchment and transfer the Jam Roly-Poly to a serving plate.
  • If desired, drizzle a few drops of CBD oil over the top of the warm Jam Roly-Poly for an additional infusion of CBD. Adjust the dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD oil.

IV. Tips and Variations

  • CBD Dosage: It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided with your CBD product and consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medication. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and desired effects.
  • Jam Selection: You can use any jam flavor you prefer for the filling. Traditional choices include strawberry, raspberry, or blackcurrant, but feel free to experiment with other flavors such as apricot or mixed berry.
  • Suet Substitution: If suet is not available, you can use butter or vegetable shortening as a substitute. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor may differ slightly from the traditional suet pastry.
  • Serving Options: Serve the CBD-infused Jam Roly-Poly warm with a generous drizzle of custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creamy accompaniment complements the warm, comforting flavors of the dessert.

V. Serving and Storage

  1. Slice the CBD-infused Jam Roly-Poly into thick rounds and serve it immediately while still warm.
  2. Leftover Jam Roly-Poly can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or enjoy them chilled.
