How to Make Maraba Tamer Date Jam

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 whole cloves. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture returns to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Add 1 pound of pitted, chopped Medjool dates and stir to combine.
  4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the dates have softened and a thick paste forms, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup of toasted slivered almonds, and 1/4 cup of toasted chopped walnuts.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
  7. Remove from heat and let the jam cool completely.
  8. Transfer the cooled jam to a sterilized glass jar and store in the refrigerator.
