does anyone know how to make coconut jam?

Answer 1

coconut egg jam

coconut milk from 2 coconuts (Ayam brand works well)
400 g sugar
10 eggs


It must be pure and undiluted. If you get the canned or tetrapak stuff from the supermarket (Ayam Brand for canned or Kara for the pak) make sure you filter the milk. I usually find lots of coconut bits in these supermarket packaged ones. Best to filter it through a fine colander or a fine mesh sieve.

If you have bought the shredded coconut bits and have to squeeze the milk out, there is a good way to do this. Fill those big coffee bags that are used by the kopi-tiams with the shredded coconut.

Squeeze it with all your might and make sure you squeeze it till it is dry. DO NOT DILUTE! and do not waste a single drop. Torture the bag like you are killing someone you hate :)

Now that the coconut milk part is over, it is time to make the kaya.
Using an electric beater, beat the eggs at medium speed slightly. Just enough the break the yolks.

Add all the sugar and beat at full speed. Mix thoroughly. Stop the beating, add the coconut milk and beat full speed to mix thoroughly. When the sugar has finally dissolved. Pour to a clean steel pot and cook it over a slow fire with CONSTANT STIRRING! Whatever it is there is no shortcut. If you have to stand there stirring for an hour, you have to. Do not use ceramic pots as they will hold the heat for too long and may give rise to burns.

The kaya will change color from the eggy-white (from the eggs and coconut milk) to a redish-brown like gravy. This is due to the caramels forming from the sugar. It will also thicken. Keep stirring the bottom to prevent the bottom from burning. Burns spoil the kaya taste. If possible, lower the flame even more. Once when the eggy-white color is completely replaced by the redish-brown color, stop and leave aside to cool. At this time, you
have to protect the kaya from naughty children coming in to lick it with a spoon :)


After it has cooled, you can bottle it in jars and refrigerate. This stuff can last for 3 days in room temperature, that is before the ants get to it.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

I'm looking for a recipe for coconut jelly I used 30 years ago and sadly misplaced. It was similar to making jellies with fruit juices using commercial pectin and commercial coconut 'milk'. It was great jelly. Anyone know where one might try to find this recipe?
