"Been going through my mom’s recipes and cookbooks, finding her Jelly Roll recipe makes for wonderful memories. Mom’s Jelly Rolls filled with homemade jelly or jam were the best ever. Always rolled to perfection. Mom was a great cook known for her awesome desserts, cooking and baking. I am sure mom also had a recipe using cream of tartar but in any case hers were always beautifully rolled and delicious. Amazing how simple ingredients can make for taste tempting dessert offerings."
