- 1
Chill. Heat ube over a medium-high flame in a 4-quart saucepan. Cook, mixing now and then, till ube has started to deepen in color plus any excess water has been cooked off, around 3 minutes. Add sugar and coconut milk and mix well. Bring mixture to a boil, next lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Heat, mixing and scraping often to prevent the ube from sticking to the saucepan, till the mixture has thickened in order to a jammy consistency, around 30 minutes. Add butter and salt and carry on cooking till mixture is dark purple in color plus has reduced in order to a viscous, paste-like consistency, around 15 minutes. Move to a heatproof mid-sized bowl and leave till completely cold, around 30 minutes. Put a lid on and chill till cold.
