2. Make the quick jam: in a small saucepan combine the blackberries, 25 g sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, lightly crushing the fruit, until thick and jammy. Let cool completely.

10. Arrange the rolls in a greased 9 x 9 inch / 23 x 23 cm pan, leaving a little space between them. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C.

Chef tips
If the jam seems too loose, cook it for 1 or 2 extra minutes before cooling so it does not leak out when slicing. For a shinier finish, add the glaze while the rolls are still slightly warm.
Substitutions
You can swap the blackberries for raspberries, and the macadamias for almonds or pecans. The toasted sesame paste can be replaced with mild tahini, adding 1 extra teaspoon of sugar if needed.
