UBE Cinnamon Rolls W/ Glaze
Happy 2024 Autumn Equinox Day! Who wants Cinnamon Rolls? I’ve got a few recipes like Apple, Peach Marmalade, The Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls with chocolate chips, or the Twisted Cinnamon Bread variation with Blueberry Jam or Hazelnut. Now, how about UBE Cinnamon Rolls? Ooohhhh….
You can find a jar of Ube Halaya(jam) at any Asian stores or check out Sukli online. It’s available on Amazon too which comes in 4 packs.

Instructions
- In a bowl sprinkle yeast and 2 tbsp of sugar with the lukewarm water. Let that sit for 5 minutes or until bubbly.
