  What country is this dessert from? I have seen other variants of this, but none contained cardamon. This looks like the Chinese pineapple roll recipe with an Indian twist.

  well normally you dont find pineapple jam with spices, but to add those spices, it brings up the aroma but still taste of pineapple . I am not sure of indian twist , its a famous cookies from Malaysia during the festive season.

  I am unclear about step 3. Do you roll out one tennis ball or many small tennis balls. Do you shape the entire thing into one long log and slice it?

• 
  marianne49 says

  Yes , roll into 4 or 5 balls flatten and add filling, then roll or fold up and seal. you get the length of a hot dog. brush with egg wash and bake, cut into short pieces to serve. NOTE: the shape can be any shape you want to do.

  Since these contain jam, do you normally refrigerate them (if you want to save them for a couple of weeks)? By the way, I collected the Taiwanese version of this dessert in this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/639681.

  no you dont have to keep in the fridge, the jam is cooked until dry and easy to roll with your fingers without sticking and that is matured jam which can last for a month or so. Once the jam is baked with the biscuits it will last without putting them in the fridge.
