Great Grandmother Griswold’s Roll Jelly Cake

“With this recipe my Grandma always took first prize at the county fair – She always said grape jelly is the best!” – Jean Hansen

“The traditional old fashioned way to do this is to use Raspberry Jam and put Coconut on top. I remember my husband trying to convince me to do it that way all the time. He now denies that he liked Raspberry Jam, but still maintains that he likes Coconut on it. And all these years I have been buying Raspberry Jam, because I thought he liked it!” – Calla Ferre

“This is another old fashioned recipe, that needs to be revived and put back into the main stream. It’s fun to make and people are always intrigued when they see it on a party platter. Substitute your favorite jam or jelly. I recommend using homemade Jams and Preserves.” – April Ferre
