A little-known preserve from the Aegean islands, made by simmering artichoke hearts in syrup. This special, labor-intensive preparation adds a surprising flavor to breakfast and to treats served to guests.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Trim the artichokes

40 min

Remove the leaves and fuzzy choke, then cut out the hearts. Immediately place them in lemon water to prevent browning.

2

Boil

20 min

Boil the trimmed artichoke hearts in lemon water until tender, then drain.

3

Cook in syrup

45 min

Bring the sugar, water, and vanilla to a boil to make a syrup. Add the artichoke hearts and simmer over low heat.

4

Thicken and fill the jars

10 min

Add the remaining lemon juice and cook until the syrup thickens. Important: The jam is ready when the artichokes turn translucent and absorb the syrup. While still boiling hot, fill sterilized jars and seal them.

Reminder

Important: After trimming the artichoke hearts, put them in lemon water right away to prevent browning; do not skip this step. This recipe contains no flour, milk, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool, dark place.

Malzemeleri sırayla eklemeyi unuttum, kıvamı biraz farklı oldu. İlk seferde dağıldı, ikinci denemede daha iyi tutundu.

Yapışmayı önlemek için kabı biraz daha yağlamayı deneyin.
