Kaya Step 1

Preparing Jars

To make 2-3 jars of Coconut Jam, you will need:

  • 10 medium to large eggs
  • 1 can good-quality (thick) coconut milk
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • a few drops of Pandan essence (available in small bottles at Asian/Chinese food stores)

If you'd like to can your jam: Simply place three clean jam jars and lids on the middle rack of your oven. Turn oven to 225 degrees. Leave the jars there until your kaya is ready (the heat will sterilize the jars).
