Ingredients Needed:
2 kilos ube or purple yam (cooked in boiling water)
½ cup margarine/butter (if you want your jam to be creamy, use butter instead)
1 can evaporated milk (big)
1 can condensed milk (big)
3 cups white sugar
Desiccated coconut
Directions:
In a pot, boil the ube or purple yam until tender. Remove from heat and let it cool. Peel it.
In a big bowl, mash the ube using a fork or for a smoother texture you can use a blender or a food processor. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix butter /margarine and sugar. Add the mashed ube, condensed milk and evaporated milk together.
Heat the pan, put in all the mixed ingredients. Cook over a low fire. Stir constantly until the texture becomes thick. Remove from heat. Let it cool. Shape the ube jam into balls. Roll the ube balls in a plate with desiccated coconut. And it’s ready. Share them and enjoy!
