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.
