EVERYTHING UBE

This post is dedicated to my all time favorite food: UBE.
Ube is made of purple yam (see below). It's known for it's bright purple color and a scrumptious ingrediente in desserts.

There is an unlimited amount of ube desserts that I love more than anything.
My favorite to make at home is a simple ube jam called Ube Jaleya:

Here is a simple recipe my mom gave me:

Ube Ingredients:

2 packs purple yam
2 cans condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup grated cheese

Directions:

Cook ube in boiling water until soft. Peel and mash ube until smooth in texture. A blender can be used for a better result.

In a big wok, melt butter or margarine. Place in the mashed ube; pour the condensed milk and sugar over it. Keep  stirring on low heat for at least 30 minutes or the until mixture is well blended.

Add evaporated milk and continue mixing until well blended and thick. Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the pan. Let cool and transfer into a large greased tray or pans Sprinkle with grated cheese for extra flavor. Chill and serve.
