• In a pot combine coconut milk and sugar, stir until sugar are dissolve.
• Add the glutinous and sweet purple rice, seasoned with salt and stir.
• Cover and let it boil, add the corn and jackfruit.
• Reduce heat to low and boil until the rice and corn are cooked.
• keep stirring to prevent rice from sticking to the pot.
