So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Indulge Yourself With A Purple Yam Jam

By Annika Reyes


In the Philippines you'll find a purple delicacy in a container that will actually have you coming back for more. People from the Philippines call it ube jam, "ube" as the Filipino term for purple yam. This actually makes the whole jarred delicacy purple yam jam, which appears a lot more like an amateur reggae music band than a comestible.

But, "jam" might be a bit of a incongruity. As you get to hear jam, you immediately consider fruit and sugar. Yam is basically never ever a fruit, but a root crop or tuber rather. Also, ube jam is made from milk, that will have some men and women argue that it's essentially much more like pudding. Gastronomic terms correctness aside, ube jam makes a sumptuous dessert and is a popular choice of many.

Two places are known for making ube jam as their specialty. In the northern portion of the archipelago, Baguio really enjoys recognition as home of the legendary Mountain Maid Ube Jam prepared inside the wall surfaces belonging to the Good Shepherd Convent.

A combination of mountain charisma, thinking about cooking nuns, as well as the idea that there's always an annoying lengthy line at the Good Shepherd shop or that whenever battling with the line, you're solely permitted to order 2 containers, has made Mountain Maid Ube Jam exceptionally coveted and remarkably in demand.

Then the other area often known as truly being ube jam territory is the southern area of Bohol. People say that most purple yam from Bohol is a lot more great smelling and much more significantly purple. Domestic clans have long modified their ube jam recipes and to give you the chance to taste homemade ube jam from a Boholano is perhaps a special treat.

At the end of that day, when you go for the northern variety or its southern equivalent, your experience with ube jam is sure to have you hankering for much more.
