Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash the Okinawan sweet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
  2. Place the cleaned sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and steam in the microwave for 5-6 minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the sweet potatoes and let them cool for a minute before peeling off the skin.
  4. Transfer the peeled sweet potatoes to a blender and add sugar, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
  6. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the jam thickens slightly; it should coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and integrated.
  8. Allow it to cool for a few moments before transferring to an airtight container.
