NOTES:

  • 1 kilo purple yam can be substituted with 2 (16 oz) packs of grated ube. 
  • If you have a food processor, use it instead of grating the yam.
  • If you prefer it sweeter, you can add 1/2 can condensed milk. 
  • You can also toss all ingredients, except butter in blender and transfer to the pan with heated butter.
  • When serving, you can top your Ube halaya with Latik or Grated Cheese. 
  • Ube Jam or Ube halaya can be used as a filling for bread recipes.
