Qamar al-din (Arabic: قمر الدين, lit. 'Moon of the Faith') is an apricot fruit leather used to make apricot juice or a nectar beverage often consumed during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It is specifically mentioned in a 13th-century Levantine recipe. It originates from what is now Syria, and was first produced in the Ghouta, where the variety of apricots most suitable for qamar al-din was first grown. Qamar al-din is used across the Middle East and North Africa and Somalia, though Syrian qamar al-din is still believed to be the best because the variety of apricots most suitable for making qamar al-din grows only in Syria and southwestern Turkey.
