I love North African flavors, they always offer enticing and exotic (for me) things that add a real sparkle to everyday foods. This little treat comes from: From the Lands of Figs and Olives by Habeeb Salloum and James Peters and it's the easiest jam you'll ever make. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water |
2 cups sugar |
10 whole cloves |
2 cups finely chopped dates |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/4 cup blanched almond, finely chopped |
1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add the sugar and cloves and, stirring all the time, bring the water to a boil again.
3. Stir in the dates and turn the heat to low; then cook for about 10 minutes or until a paste is formed.
4. Add the lemon juice, almonds and walnuts; then cook for a few more minutes.
5. Remove and allow to cool; then store in a glass jar.
