Heat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the work surface with 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon.

Unfold 1 of the piecrusts and place it on the sugar and cinnamon. Roll to an even thickness. Spread half the jam evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with half the nuts and half the raisins. Starting at one end of the dough, roll it tightly into a log. Sprinkle the top of the log with 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining sugar.
