My mother-in-law brought this recipe from Yugoslavia in the early 1900's. It was a tradition in her family to serve it for holidays and special occasions. Now it's my tradition. Family members often help roll our the dough and add the filling. -Mrs. Anthony Setta, Saegertown, Pennsylvania

This nut roll was a disaster. The meringue cracked and the filling oozed out. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

I was a bit disappointed with this nut roll. The meringue was too dry and the filling was too sweet. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
