Pumpkin Yakult Jam 南瓜养乐多果酱
Have you ever thought that pumpkin goes well with yakult drink? Neither do I. But after an experiment with this special jam, I’ve to admit it was perfect . The sweetness came from the pumpkin and yakult as I only added 2 tbsp of sugar in the mixture. This is definitely healthier than making kaya (jam made of egg yolks, coconut milk and sugar) and the cooking time only takes about 20-25 minutes. I love the end result, a little citrusy and fragrant. Great to spread on bread for morning breakfast.

Dear Ann, What is Yakult? Is it a kind of Yoghurt? I go to Asian Supermarkets rather a lot but have never seen anything like it before.
Hi Roy, Yakult is a brand of yoghurt drink in Singapore and Malaysia. You can buy yoghurt drink from the supermarket.
Wow very nice and healthy jam. I love it Thanks .
Hi Ann, I am wondering if I can use sweet potatoes to make this jam instead. Regards…Adeline
Hi Adeline, Pumpkin has high water content while sweet potato is dry type but can always try and see how is the result.
Hi Ann, this jam look very delicious! May I know how long can the jam store inside the fridge?
Hi Evangeline, Thank you. This jam can be kept for about a week in the fridge.
Ann,
You are brilliant.
Yakult + pumpkin = yummy Jam!
Love the natural sweetness from the pumpkin and yakult.

What a healthy and special way to use yakult and pumpkin to make jam! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea, Ann…I can definitely see this working and yes, oh so much healthier too. I actually made yogurt yesterday. Today I mixed it with a little leftover pumpkin just to see how it would taste. Worked like a charm:) Next time I'll add a hint of citrus.
Thanks so much for sharing, Ann…
Ann, I love this creation of yours, it's definitely healthier and I am sure gonna try it one day, bookmarked. Thanks for sharing. Sorry for not visiting for quite some time as have been very busy and sleep deprived.
Love the super smooth consistency of your pumpkin YAKULT kaya…its a good cheat for my kids..but very doubtful they will touch it…
Hi Ann, not only creative is very healthy too….. I like it…..
Hi Ann,
After seeing your Yakult post, I reckon that we should organise a Yakult LTU!!! :p
You are so clever creating this!
Zoe
Hi Zoe, hahaa… sounds challenging. I've never used yakult in my bakes before….
我迟到了啦。。。可是我想吃ｏ。
食谱收藏起来了。下次我请你吃。嘻嘻嘻
Ann,
You are so innovative, always coming up with new dishes to surprise us. Never thought Yakult could be used to make this jam, and I agree this is healthier than pumpkin kaya, unfortunately I am not sure I can get yakult here, never seen it in supermarts.. Thank you so much for sharing and linking up with MTR #3 – Taste of Autumn!
Thank you Miss B for your compliment 🙂
Ann, this pumpkin jam has really surprised me(of course in a good way) because I never thought that jam can be prepared in this simple way! And they look really smooth! I can imagine how good it will taste on a piece of toast!
Hi Jessie, So happy to hear from you again :)) Just saw your pumpkin chiffon cake. The cake look so and the pics are beautiful as always.
Ann, this is a really creamy and healthy jam!
The color is really fantastic!
Hi Ann, thanks for sharing this healthy homemade pumpkin jam, no preservatives. Great for breakfast !

Ann， 我最怕煮kaya了， 小时候看着妈妈煮还要搅拌到半条人命， 哈哈哈!
