Spoil Yourself To Some Purple Yam Jam

By Annika Reyes


In the Philippines you'll find a purple goody in a jar that could have you returning for more. People from the Philippines refer to it as ube jam, "ube" as the Filipino term for purple yam. This actually makes the jarred delicacy purple yam jam, which seems much more a beginner reggae group rather than a comestible.

But, "jam" might be a bit of a incongruity. As you get to hear jam, you immediately consider fruit and sugar. Yam is basically never ever a fruit, but a root crop or tuber rather. Also, ube jam is made from milk, that will have some men and women argue that it's essentially much more like pudding. Gastronomic terms correctness aside, ube jam makes a sumptuous dessert and is a popular choice of many.

Two locations are notable for creating ube jam as their specialty. Within the northern section of the archipelago, Baguio boasts fame as home of the prominent Mountain Peak Maid Ube Jam produced in the old wall spaces of that Good Shepherd Convent.

A combination of mountain charisma, thinking about cooking nuns, as well as the idea that there's always an annoying lengthy line at the Good Shepherd shop or that whenever battling with the line, you're solely permitted to order 2 containers, has made Mountain Maid Ube Jam exceptionally coveted and remarkably in demand.

Then the other area often known as truly being ube jam territory is the southern area of Bohol. People say that most purple yam from Bohol is a lot more great smelling and much more significantly purple. Domestic clans have long modified their ube jam recipes and to give you the chance to taste homemade ube jam from a Boholano is perhaps a special treat.

At the end of that day, when you go for the northern variety or its southern equivalent, your experience with ube jam is sure to have you hankering for much more.
