This is a fast and easy version of making kaya recipe. Compare with mother's version kaya recipe, "my" version required much lesser time in making kaya jam. The so-called "my" version is not my own creation, it was my "founding" version from here.

Comparison between mother's version and "my" version:

I am too lazy to try mother's version although it is really really delicious. Hence came out my version. For those who like kaya, and lack of time or patient standing long hour keep stirring your kaya jam, my version is actually a very good try. It is better to make home fresh kaya jam since it is fast and easy to make. Try make a small bottle each time and finish it fast when it is still fresh, and make for new badge after finish.
