Maraba Tamer (Date Jam) image

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.
