Coco Jam
Ingredients:
6 cups of thick coconut milk
1/2 panucha (whole brown sugar) or if you can't find panucha, just use 1/2 kilo of brown sugar
pandan leaves
Put all ingredients in a casserole and boil for 30 minutes. If you noticed that it is already thickened, stir it using wooden spatula. It will take around another 30 minutes or more depending on how you thick you want it to be. And you can always adjust sugar mixture to the sweetness you want. Some people use corn syrup (or other syrup) but that is not the authentic way of cooking Coco Jam. Coco jam is not best served hot nor cold, so make sure to leave it in room temperature before serving. Disregard the oil formed on the process of cooking Coco Jam or you can use it in frying Suman or egg. Elders in our community uses the oil from Coco Jam for massage as they believe that it has good benefits to our body. Fresh cooked coconut jam can lasts for 1 week, since it doesn't have preservatives in it. (But I doubt if it will last that long since everyone in the house love it!) Serve it with hot pandesal or loaf bread. It is also best for baguette or bagels every morning.

1 medium onion diced
3 tomatoes diced
1/4 cup vinegar

Cook for another 5 minutes or until the pork meat is tender. Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy!
