In the Philippines you’ll come across a purple indulgence in a jar that would have you coming back for more. The Filipinos call it ube jam, “ube” being the Filipino term for purple yam. This practically makes all the jarred treat purple yam jam, which seems a lot more like a beginner reggae group than a comestible.

However, “jam” could be a little bit of a incongruity. When you take note of jam, you consider fruit and sugar. Yam is technically never ever a fruit, but a root crop actually. Furthermore, ube jam is made with milk, that will have some people reasoning and arguing that it’s actually a lot more like pudding. Gastronomic lingo correctness aside, ube jam can be a delicious dessert and it’s also a favorite of many.

Two locations are famous for making ube jam as a specialty. In the northern portion of the archipelago, Baguio delights in recognition as the house of the popular Hill Maid ube jam manufactured in the wall structures belonging to the Good Shepherd Convent.

The mix of mountain magic, the idea of cooking nuns, and also the very fact that there is always a ridiculous long line at the Good Shepherd shop or that after having to endure the queue, you’re just permitted to buy 2 jars, has made Mountain Maid Ube Jam vastly desired and tremendously in demand.

One other destination referred to as really being ube jam territory is the southern area of Bohol. People say that most purple yam from Bohol is more aromatic and more deeply purple. Domestic clans have long enhanced their ube jam recipes and also to be able to enjoy home made ube jam put together by a Boholano is perhaps an exceptional treat.

At the end of that day, it doesn’t matter if you choose to buy from the northern variety or its southern equal, your experience with ube jam will most likely have you longing for more.
