Instructions

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs and extracts. Mix

and mix well.

Cover and chill at least two hours. Divide dough in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough half into a 12?x9?
rectangle.

Combine the jam, coconut, and pecans. Spread jam mixture over
the two rectangles of dough. Carefully roll up, starting with the long
end, into a tight jelly roll. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight
or freeze for 2 to 3 hours.

baking sheet.
