CARAMELIZED GREEN OLIVES

By gaster16

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup date jam
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Dash powdered ginger
• 2 cups pitted cured green olives (about 1 pound)

Preparation

Step 1

Put the date jam, water and butter 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 jam mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar in the jam has caramelized. Serve warm or at room temperature.
