Things to know about Mrabbat Jizar Recipe

In Arabic, ‘Marrabat’ means ‘jam’ and ‘Jizer’ stands for ‘Carrot’. 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 carrot 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 Jizar is uncanny. It’s a refreshing and tasty addition to savory Iraqi foods.
