This is Tania's favourite jam. She makes toast. Puts a layer of butter followed by a layer of this jam for her afternoon snack. It is delicious. Mama is posting the recipe so you can try it.

Ingredients:

• 8 seedless black dates

• 3 plums

• 1 tea spoon cornstarch

• 1 cup water

Procedure:

• Chop the plums into big pieces and remove the seeds.

• Put dates, chopped plums and a cup of water to boil.

• When water boils, simmer and stir with wooden spoon pressing on the pieces of dates and plums

• In a few minutes the mixture should have a pulpy consistency with no large chunks

• Mix the corn starch with some water to make a milky white liquid and add to the pulpy mixture

• Bring the mixture to a boil stirring continuously and simmer for another minute

Date plum jam is ready. Put it in a glass jar and eat it quickly.

Variation: You can add some tea leaves for flavour when you put the dates and plums to boil.
