Mix the ingredients to create a vibrant jam.

Form ground beef patties, seasoning with fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and garlic powder.

Preheat a cast iron skillet and cook the patties, allowing them to sit for crispy edges.

Toast the burger buns and spread garlic aioli on them.

Assemble the burger with the cooked patty and top with Yassa jam.
