Spoil Yourself To Some Purple Yam Jam






by Annika Reyes


In the Philippines you'll find a purple delicacy in a container that will actually have you coming back for more. People from the Philippines call it ube jam, "ube" as the Filipino term for purple yam. This actually makes the whole jarred delicacy purple yam jam, which appears a lot more like an amateur reggae music band than a comestible.

Yet, "jam" might be a little bit of a contradiction. Whenever you hear jam, you think of fruit and sugar. Yam is technically not a fruit, but a tuber instead. Furthermore, ube jam is made from milk, which will get some people arguing that it's in fact more like pudding. Gastronomic terms accuracy aside, ube jam can be a delicious dessert that is a heavy favorite of many people.

Two places are known for making ube jam as their specialty. In the northern portion of the archipelago, Baguio really enjoys recognition as home of the legendary Mountain Maid Ube Jam prepared inside the wall surfaces belonging to the Good Shepherd Convent.

Superb combination of mountain mystery, the very thought of cooking nuns, in addition to the fact that there is always a ridiculous long line in the Good Shepherd store or that after coping with the queue, you're basically only permitted to buy 2 containers, can make Mountain Maid Ube Jam exceptionally wanted and highly 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.
