Delicious medjool dates from the desert that is Phoenix
Yup, you may think they look like roaches, but just get over that and bite into one!
Date Jam Recipe: 2 C dates, 2 C sugar, 1.5 C water. Chop up dates and mix together with spices of choosing (I used cinnamon stick, cardamom, vanilla bean). When in a pasty form, add 1 cup finely chopped nuts (I used both walnuts and almonds) and 1 Tbs citrus zest. Stir, cool, place in jars and seal. Yum, great on bread with goat cheese.
