- Place the pitted dates and 1/2 cup of warm water in a food processor or blender and process till well combined. Add date puree to the pot and stir.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often so it does not burn.
- Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, continuing to stir every few minutes.

Notes
Place the unprocessed jam in the fridge for 1-2 months; or, you can preserve them by placing them into a boiling water bath for 10 minutes and they will keep in your cupboard for up to a year. Another option for unprocessed jam is to store in the freezer until you are ready to consume it, which my grandma used to do.
