Murabba is an
Arabic term for "Jam".
Murabba is a big part of Azerbaijan
Cuisine. Azerbaijan could easily be called "The Land of Jams". Azerbaijanis make jam from almost anything -
walnuts,
watermelon and even rose petals. Jam varies from region to region according to the availability of fruits. Each summer, Azerbaijani women buy large amounts of
fruit and sugar in order to make a large supply of
preserves to last throughout the winter.
The most popular jams are made from
plums,
raspberries, mulberries,
pears, peaches, melons, figs,
strawberries and cherries. Though, perhaps, regional, jams can be made from
grapes, quince ,
pumpkin and
pomegranates. Preserved
apricots stuffed with
almonds are also found in the
country. Even
eggplants can be used as a base for jam. Another type of jam is made from "Paradise Apple", called "Jannat Almasi" in Azeri. This small fruit tastes like a
cherry and has a stem, but it is actually a tiny
apple.
In any Azerbaijani home, homemade jam or jams are served along with black tea. When tea is served, it is rare that it is accompanied by
sugar, instead jams are more likely offered or served with the black tea. Azerbaijanis put a small spoonful of jam in their mouth and sip the tea through the jam.
Just for this practice of
drinking tea with a jam in Azerbaijan, maybe I would ask my godson to invite us to his house, he is married to an Azerbaijani. I would be very happy to be served Murabba with black tea. I would love to
taste their
quince jam and the
eggplant jam.
