Source: Unknown
Yield: about 50 pieces

Dough:
1 cup butter for margarine
1 cup sour cream
2 cups sifted flour

Filling:
Apricot jam
1 cup flaked coconut
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup golden raisins

Make Filling and Assembly:
Process or blend jam until smooth. Spread 1/4 over the dough, leaving a 1" band on all sides. Atop jam on side nearest you sprinkle on 1/4 of the nuts in a 1" strip. Sprinkle the 1/4 of the coconut and raisins over the nuts. Roll up, seal ends and place, seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat 3 times.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F and 15 minutes at 350°F or until very lightly browned. This will not get golden brown. Cool, slice, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Freeze in single layers or in layers divided with waxed paper.

Poster's Notes:
The baked pieces freeze beautifully and look and taste freshly made when thawed.
