Scrumptious Iraqi Traditional Beetroot Jam. Authentic Recipe of Mrabbat Shuwander.

Things to know about Mrabbat Shuwander Recipe

In Arabic, ‘Marrabat’ means ‘jam’ and ‘Shuwander’ stands for ‘Beetroot’. Jam making is a tradition observed for centuries in Iraq, jams made of summer and winter vegetables or fruits are a favorite snack usually served with traditional tea or as a side dish with bread. As beetroot is available in winter, the jam is made in winter but it can be refrigerated for a whole year.  Women make jams at home and save them in ceramic pots for better preservation of flavor. It’s a small and easy recipe with less than 6 ingredients. Nowadays many confectioneries also sell this style of jam but a homemade flavor of authentic Iraqi Mrabbat is uncanny. It’s a refreshing and tasty addition to savory Iraqi foods.
