["Combine eggs, juice, oil, sugar, and orange in a food processor. Pulse till orange is blended in thoroughly. Add baking powder, baking soda, and flour to make a malleable dough. Set aside.", "Mix the two preserves together. Set aside. Mix nuts, if using, and raisins with the cinnamon sugar. Set aside.", "Divide dough into two parts. Roll one out between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap to a rectangle about 18"" by 12"". Spread half of preserves over dough, leaving a half-inch margin. Sprinkle half of raisin-cinnamon sugar on top. Roll up from long side like a jelly roll. Tuck ends under.Transfer carefully to a silpat-lined or foil-lined and greased cookie sheet (lining the sheet is a must, since the preserves have a tendency to leak out). Repeat with other half of dough.", "Bake at 350 degrees about 1 hour, or till golden. Cool and slice. This freezes well. You can also make the dough ahead and refrigerate overnight. Like many baked things with fruit and nuts, this improves after a day or so, when flavors meld."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
