Ingredients:
- One 16-ounce (454g) pack frozen, grated ube (purple yam), thawed (see note)
- 5 1/2 ounces granulated sugar (3/4 cup; 155g)
- One 13.5-ounce (400ml) can coconut milk
- 2 ounces (4 tablespoons; 60g) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see note)
- 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume
How to cook:
- In a 4-quart saucepan, heat ube over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until ube has started to deepen in color and any excess water has been cooked off, about 3 minutes.
- Add sugar and coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring and scraping frequently to prevent the ube from sticking to the saucepan, until the mixture has thickened to a jammy consistency, about 30 minutes.
- Add butter and salt and continue to cook until mixture is dark purple in color and has reduced to a viscous, paste-like consistency, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a heatproof medium bowl and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
