Ube Halaya Recipe (Purple Yam Jam)
Description
The Ube Halaya Recipe (Purple Yam Jam) focuses on hydrating ube powder in boiling water, followed by simmering and continuous whisking to reach a thick and smooth texture reminiscent of thick apple sauce. Afterward, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract are added for richness and flavor. The mixture is cooked further until it forms a dense paste. The jam is then transferred to a jar to cool before serving or using as an ingredient. The natural sweetness from the condensed milk and the creamy texture from the evaporated milk create a luscious consistency that defines traditional ube halaya. It is versatile as a standalone dessert or as a base in sweets and baked goods.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp ube powder
- 1½ c water boiling
- 4 tbsp evaporated milk
- 4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a heat safe mixing bowl, combine the ube powder and boiling water. Whisk the powder and cover with a lid. Leave to soak in the water for 20 minutes.
- Whisk the ube mixture again to incorporate all the water and hydrated ube in the bowl. Add the contents into a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer and continue to whisk for an additional 10 minutes or until the texture has the consistency of a thick apple sauce. Here's how it should look.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- Bring the pan back onto the heat over medium-high and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to stir to prevent the bottom from burning. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the ube halaya turns into a thick paste. Here's how the final texture should look.
- Transfer the ube halaya into a jar and let rest until cool to serve or use as an ingredient.
