Pumpkin Kaya / Jam




Something that's healthier yet taste yummy. This pumpkin jam goes well with bread and it is suitable for vegetarian that does not take egg.

Ingredients:


  • 400 grams of pumpkin
  • 2 Pandan Leaves
  • 50 grams of brown sugar
  • 100 ml thick coconut milk
  • 100ml thick cream
Steps:
  1. Instead of the normal steaming of the pumpkin, I roasted them on the air fryer to give it that extra nice flavour. So cut the pumpkin to small cubes and air fried them for bout 15-20mins on 160C. However if you don't have one you can just steam it till it is soft for the same amount of time.
  2. Blend the pumpkin with the cream and coconut milk. I used the hand blender. But if you have one, mash it and sieve thru it so that there is no clump in the mixture.
  3. Pour the mixture on top on non stick wok/pan/pot. Then add in the rest of the ingredients.
  4. Cooked on low fire (I'm lazy, I want it fast, so I started with slightly higher fire and once it gets heated and before it bubbles, lower down the temperature) till the mixture thickens and when you run a spoon over it, it draws a line on the mixture.
  5. Let the mixture cool down before transferring it to a clean, dry and sterilised container.
