Maraba Tamer (Date Jam)

 

When I found this recipe yesterday, I knew some people liked dates on the lists

so i typed it up. Its from the cookbook " The Lands of Figs and Olives "

 

1 1/2 cups water

2 cups sugar

10 whole cloves

2 cups finely chopped dates

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup blanched almonds, finely chopped

1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

 

Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Add the sugar and cloves and, stirring all the time, bring the water to a boil

again.

Stir in the dates and turn the heat to low; then cook for about 10 minutes or

until a paste is formed.

Add the lemon juice, almonds and walnuts; then cook for a few more minutes.

Remove and allow to cool; then store in a glass jar.

Makes about 1 quart.

I love figs and olives! Hmmmmm, I can't have sugar as is in the recipe

though. :-(

 

I'll find a substitute!
