In bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until fluffy; beat in sugar and salt. Stir in flour in 2 additions to make soft dough. Form into rectangle; cut into quarters. Wrap each and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.Filling: In bowl, combine almonds, white chocolate, granulated sugar and brown sugar; set aside.
On lightly floured surface, roll each quarter of dough into 12- x 8-inch (30 x 20 cm) rectangle. Spread each with 2 tbsp (30 mL) jam; sprinkle with one-quarter of the almond mixture. Starting at long side, tightly roll each up into log. Wrap each and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
