Iraqi Apple Preserve
By: Susiecat too
Sep 25, 2007
This is a lovely use for apples! From "The Book of Jewish Food" by Claudia Roden. She suggests serving this with yogurt to balance the sweetness. The rosewater flavor is strong here, so if you are shy about rosewater consider cutting the amount in half. This would be lovely as a filling in a white cake, layered with vanilla pastry cream in between the cake layers.

Ingredients

- 3 1/3 cups sugar

OOh--so lovely! VERY sweet and one eoes have to like the undertones of rosewater, but really good. I made a small batch--had some with yogurt as suggestd and loved it. Have another jar put up and I think I'll use that in a layer cake or maybe in choux puffs. Thanks, Susie!
