20

Introduction 

Singapore’s food culture isn’t just about savory delights—it’s also home to some of the most loved sweet spreads. From the iconic kaya toast enjoyed at kopi stalls to festive pineapple jam tarts and artisanal fruit jams, these recipes carry a mix of tradition and creativity. Each jam not only adds flavor to bread, cakes, or pastries but also reflects the diverse culinary influences in Singapore. 

Kaya (Coconut Jam) 


The king of local jams! Made with coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, kaya is slow-cooked until smooth and fragrant. Spread generously on toast with a slab of butter, it’s a breakfast staple in Singaporean kopi stalls. 

Pineapple Jam 


Sweet and tangy, pineapple jam is best known as the filling for festive pineapple tarts. Made by cooking fresh pineapples with sugar and spices, it’s a Chinese New Year must-have. 

Strawberry Jam 


A classic favorite in cafés and bakeries, strawberry jam is fruity, sweet, and often paired with scones, waffles, or buttered bread. Some local artisanal brands make it with less sugar for a fresher taste. 

Mango Jam 


Tropical and vibrant, mango jam captures the sweetness of ripe mangoes in a spreadable form. It’s often homemade and pairs perfectly with toast, pancakes, or even as a cake filling. 

Roselle Jam 


Made from roselle flowers (a type of hibiscus), this jam is slightly tart with a beautiful red hue. A healthier option, it’s packed with antioxidants and is gaining popularity in artisanal food markets. 

Conclusion 

From rich and creamy kaya to tropical mango and fragrant lychee, Singapore’s jam recipes are as vibrant as its food culture. Whether you’re enjoying them at breakfast, during festive celebrations, or in modern desserts, these jams bring sweetness and tradition to every bite. A must-try for anyone who loves exploring Singapore’s culinary treasures!
