Rose and Date Jam

Overview

Although fresh dates are good, eating too much will make you feel unwell. I used to go back to my hometown with my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law in the countryside put potatoes, corn, and peanuts together in a large firewood pot to cook. There was a grate in the pot, and fresh dates and pears were steamed on the grate. They were all harvested from their own fields and yards. Unexpectedly, the steamed fresh dates were very soft and glutinous, sweet, and not irritating to the stomach. I think fresh dates would also be good in jam.
