UBE HALAYA
Ube halaya is a type of Filipino jam made from boiled purple yam.
It is also the main base in Ube flavoured pastries, ice creams and other desserts like halo halo. It’s creamy, sweet and delicious, and it’s not hard to see why it’s so popular. ( I enjoyed it on toast with my tea.. lol)

1can condensed milk
1can evaporated milk
½ -1cup sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
