Geymar (known as Kaymak in Turkey) is an Iraqi thickened cream that is traditionally made using water buffalo milk. It is indulgent and addictive, typically served for breakfast with flaky pastry called Kahi, and smothered in either honey or date molasses. You can recreate it at home using a mixture of cow's milk and whipping cream for the ultimate breakfast treat!
I saw this recipe almost 3 months back and ever since, it was on my mind. In fact, I had bought my first pack of dried apricots just for this recipe and while I still kept fiddling with the thought of making it, the apricots managed to score highest on my favorite dry fruit list and now a regular in my pantry. Some more months would have still passed by before I could make this pickle when finally yesterday I did some jar shopping and I knew now is the time. Not that the recipe is difficult to make, in fact it is one of the simplest ones to make. I was just occupied with a few more important things and today when I finally made it, I realize what I had been missing all this while. The recipe was shared by a very talented fellow food blogger Amrita Gill which was passed on to her by her Iranian friend in her college days. A must try recipe, especially if you love your pickles and chutneys! Ingredients 2 cups carrot grated 1 1/2 cups fine grain sugar 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (can be replaced with sugarcane vinegar or apple cider vinegar or any sweet vinegar) 1/3 cup dried apricots sliced 1/3 cup raisins 1/3 cup dates (I did not add as I do not like) 3 cloves garlic finely chopped 1/4 tsp garam masala powder 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 1 tbsp heaped red chilli powder Salt to taste Direction Soak the apricots and raisins in the vinegar overnight in the refrigerator, preferably in a glass bowl. Heat a pan and add the carrots followed by the sugar. Strain the soaked apricots and raisins and add the soaked vinegar from the bowl. Let the mixture come to a boil while stirring continuously on a medium flame. Now add the chopped garlic, soaked and strained fruits followed by the spices. Mix everything well and let the mixture reduce while stirring in between. When all the liquid evaporates, remove from heat and transfer to glass jar or bowl and keep the lid open. Refrigerate once completely cool. Enjoy with a wide range of Indian breads, fritters, samosas, or anything that you fancy!

Although I call this chilli jam, I don't mean by this that it's the sort of thing you'd spread on your toast at breakfast (though smeared inside a bacon sandwich, it could be a real help one hungover morning) but rather a chilli jelly — chelly? — that glows a fiery, flecked red and is fabulous with cold meats or a cheese plate. And just a small pot of it makes a gorgeous present. "Jam sugar" is a sugar that has pectin added to it and is very good for setting jams and jellies which are low in natural fruit pectin. It is easily bought in most UK supermarkets but sadly is difficult to find elsewhere. If you can’t get jam sugar then you can use granulated sugar and add a 1.75 ounce box of regular powdered fruit pectin to the sugar and vinegar at the beginning of step 2 (or use the amount of powdered pectin recommended on the packaging). Powdered fruit pectin can be bought from canning suppliers. And please read the Additional Information section at the end of the recipe before proceeding.
