Morabay-e Albaloo – Persian Sour Cherry Jam

In every Persian home, Morabay-e Albaloo – Persian Sour Cherry Jam carries sweet childhood memories. I still remember waking up to the smell of freshly baked Nan-e Barbari, hearing the gentle clink of tea glasses, and seeing this deep ruby-red jam glistening in a small glass bowl on the breakfast table. My grandmother would always say that a good Morabay-e Albaloo should have whole cherries floating in a thick syrup, like little jewels. She believed serving this jam to guests was a sign of love and care, and to this day, every spoonful reminds me of her warm kitchen, her floral apron, and the simple joy of gathering with family to start the day with something sweet.

In a wind-protected corner of my garden grows a very special flower: the Damascene rose “Rose de Resht”. Every year I prepare something different from its petals with their strong rose fragrances, for example Sharbat-e Gol – rose lemonade or rose butter. This year I prepared Morabayeh Gol – Persian rose flower jam مربای گل سرخ from the petals of my Rose de Resht. Those who try rose jam for the first time are usually both excited and irritated at the same time, because for most it is a new eating experience. For me, the rose petal jam is an essential part of an expansive Persian breakfast. It requires to butter a piece of Arabic or Lavash bread, then adding some rose jam on it and top it with Sar Sheer.
