Delicious recipe! Will definitely make again! I cannot stress enough that the instructions are accurate and should be followed closely. Such as when it is mentioned that you should remove the yam mixture from the heat after 15 minutes you should remove the yam mixture. A word of caution be vigilant in checking on your boiling yams it is very easy to overcook them making them more difficult to grate. Apart from this it is an amazing recipe that is very rewarding. I have no doubt that you will soon be saying YES to this jam! Not only did this recipe inspire us to make yam jam it was also the beginning of our quest to make fig and date jam. Read More

I made it and love the recipe. It’s really good but for me it’s a little to sweet, I will lessen the condensed milk next time. Read More
