Wasn't the devil's nut roll? Or also called the "preacher roll."

Aunt Jo's hot fruit salad.
Aunt Nita and Aunt Jo's Ham. I learned how to cook a ham from Aunt Jo. They lived in Jackson and I had never watched Mom, Aunt Jo used orange juice and brown sugar (I think). It is great!
Oh yea and Donna's cornbread - Remember,Donna? I have a scar to prove how well the cornbread was cooked

Imogene's Christmas cookies and candies. She always made enough
for everybody to have some then enough left to feed Ruleville.
However there was never a lot left
after Jack and I were there with our girls

I really have never heard of the devil's nut roll but have heard of the preachers roll. I always thought Granny rolled her "Date Nut Roll" in cheese cloth. What ever you call it---It was sooo good

What was the cheese roll called? Did it have a special name?

I think the cheese roll was called "Preacher Roll" Mrs Posey that worked for us always made the "Preacher Roll" at Christmas time and would bring it to us.
Gary Jennings got the recipe from Mrs Posey and now he makes it at Christmas. So good !! He could make us some for Family Reunion so everybody would know what "Preacher Roll" is
