Ingredients
2/3 cup date jam
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter or pareve margarine
Dash powdered ginger
2 cups pitted, good-quality cured green olives (about 1 pound)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the date jam, water, and butter or margarine in a small saucepan. Simmer just long enough to dissolve. Add the ginger.
- Spread the olives in a cake pan large enough to fit them in 1 layer. Sprinkle the olives with a few tablespoons of their own juice. Cover with the jam mixture mixture.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar in the jam has caramelized. Serve warm or at room temperature as an accompaniment to a meat meal
