Grilled Shrimp With Tomato Jam (Moroccan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/4 cup cider vinegar
    1/4 cup dry fino sherry wine (optional)
    1 cinnamon stick
    1 (35 ounce) can peeled tomatoes, drained, seeded and coarsely chopped
    1/4 cup light brown sugar
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/4 cup honey
    salt & freshly ground black pepper
    1 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
Preparation
    Melt butter in a saucepan over moderately high head. Add ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant. Add vinegar, optional sherry and cinnamon stick and stir until it resembles a glaze (one minute or so). Stir in tomatoes, sugar, cumin, cayenne and cloves. Reduce to low and simmer about 1 hour, until liquid has evaporated. Discard the cinnamon.
    Stir in honey, salt and black pepper. Use a food processor or blender and puree, if you you like. Let cool.
    Light a grill or preheat the broiler.
    Cover shrimp with 1/3 - 1/2 of the COOLED tomato jam and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Set the remaining jam aside.
    Grill shrimp for about 2 minutes per side. They should be lightly charred on the outside and opaque throughout.
    Spoon extra jam over shrimp to taste.
