Ingredients
  • 2 cups port (or a red wine such as Burgundy)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup clover honey
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 12 ounces Medjool dates, pitted

Directions
  1. In a saucepan, combine the port or Burgundy, sugar, honey, and cinnamon stick. When bubbles appear at the edges and the sugar has dissolved, add the dates.
  2. Cook over low for 30 minutes or until the dates are soft. Let them cool in the liquid.
  3. Remove the cinnamon stick. Strain the dates*.
  4. In a food processor, puree the dates (they do not have to be completely smooth).
  5. * See the recipe for Apple and Date Croustade, where you must reserve the date liquid when you make this heavenly jam.
  6. Put into jars and seal with paraffin wax.

Wow. This jam is absolutely amazing. It has a mature flavor that goes as well with cheeses as it does on bread. I can't wait to use it for dessert cookies and to give as gifts. I used a very cheap red cabernet, a little less sugar and a 1/4 box of pectin. I also kept the juice in the jam rather than straining it out. This was one of the best things I have made in a long time - Thanks!!
