Pineapple-Chocolate Slices

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pineapple preserves
6 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate pieces
6 tablespoons chopped walnuts
powdered sugar

In large mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and shortening. Blend on low speed of electric mixer until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; stir until dough clings together to form a ball. Divide dough in thirds; cover and chill. On lightly floured surface, roll one-third of the dough into a 12x4-inch rectangle. Spread with ¼ cup preserves, 2 tablespoons chocolate pieces, and 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts. Starting with the 12-inch side, roll up as for a jelly roll. Seal edges and ends well. Place seam-side down on greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, preserves, chocolate pieces, and nuts. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15 to 17 minutes. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 3/4-inch pieces.--Mrs. L. Lamanuzzi, West Springfield, Mass.

Makes 3 rolls [14 to 16 pieces each].
