I've been craving for bibingkang malagkit<\/a> for awhile so yesterday afternoon, I decided to make a tray to enjoy as midday snack for the long weekend ahead. I was in the midst of thickening its topping on the stove when an epiphany struck me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While religiously stirring the coconut cream and brown sugar, I gingerly licked my spoon and realized the mixture tastes so much like minatamis na bao. Oh my sweet! Is this how coconut jam is made? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left my pot for a minute, did a quick Google search and sure enough, the ingredients and steps for minatamis na bao are the same as the kalamay topping! Stoked with this discovery, I set out to make a jar of my favorite breakfast spread from scratch. Oh, yeah. Success.<\/p>\n\n\n

Minatamis na Bao, which literally translates to \"sweetened coconut\", is very easy to make. All you need are coconut cream, brown sugar, and patience. Yes, patience, as it takes a good few hours of gentle simmer to bring the sweetened coconut milk to the desired soft ball stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don't let this deter you! If you use a non-stick pan and set your heat at the lowest setting, you don't really need to man the stove other than a occasional stir here and there during the early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial coconut jams are readily available at most supermarkets, but trust me, nothing beats the joy of homemade. You get pure coconut goodness with no added preservatives!<\/p>\n\n\n
