How to cook halayang ube (purple jam) (5 Steps)
Halayang ube, also known as ube halaya, ube jam or purple jam, is a favorite dessert in the Philippines. Purple jam is unlike Western fruit jams, as it's made with purple yams, butter and condensed milk. The starch in the yams makes the halayang ube thicken into a paste, while the butter and condensed milk keep it sweet and rich. Purple yams are commonly used for color and flavor in other Filipino desserts, such as cake, cookies and ice cream.
