A thick winter jam made by softening dried dates in water and enriching them with walnuts. Its natural sweetness and deep flavor add something different to the breakfast table.
Put the pitted dates in a saucepan with hot water and leave them to soak overnight. The next day, mash them together with the soaking water.
Bring the mashed date mixture and sugar to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Skim off any foam that forms.
Once the mixture thickens, add the walnuts and lemon juice and simmer for a few more minutes. Important: Drop a little onto a plate; if it leaves a trail, it has reached the right consistency.
Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and seal them. Turn the jars upside down, let them cool, and store them in a cool, dark place.
Pit the dates and soften them in hot water before mashing; otherwise, they may not cook evenly. Skim off the foam regularly. Allergen: contains walnuts (tree nuts); does not contain milk or eggs. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool place.
