Santalia

Santalia is a type of Coconut Jam. Surprisingly, it is not mentioned in the Wikipedia entry. It is close to the Filipino matamís. Santalia is kaya without egg so it should be simpler.
Based on this picture, it is different from our Santalia in being lighter. Santalia is almost black. And in Sabah, it is usual to add durian. Tausug in Sabah and Philippines may share the same name of Santalia but not sure of their way of cooking.

The Matamis recepi below uses brown sugar so is darker and looks like Sanatalia.
