Mine wasn't nearly as pretty as the picture - but then again I can't quite seem to master sponge cake rolls. It tasted good, and was easy enough to make, but it made a lot of dirty dishes. I put apricot preserves and coconut cream cheese frosting inside of mine, and everyone loved it.

This is a good potluck recipe. No one has ever seen a roll like this. It's very pretty. It is very sweet. My orange layer was much thinner than the picture. I made it with Smucker's orange marmalade. If you can find a marmalade with lots of pieces of orange or strain out some of the syrup, it would be prettier and less messy to eat. It took about 45 minutes to get to the point of chilling for 1 hour. Next, I'm going to try it with strawberry preserves.

As far as jelly rolls go, this one is a monarch of its kind. I highly recommend it. Oddly enough, it's exactly the same as a recipe my mother gave me. I've always loved it even as a child. It goes well with strawberry jam too.
