My roommate's mom just brought with her about 15 kilos of mangosteen and rambutan from Davao two days ago and we were feasting like there'll be no mangosteen for the rest of the decade.

And yes, I made a batch with the "native" or smaller mangosteen and the flavor is superb. Blaise, there is still a lot around Manila, but a RIDICULOUS vendor at Market!Market! just quoted me PHP200 a kilo a few hours ago. I asked her if she was drunk on the fumes of rotting mangosteen, which she didn't get, I guess. But there are suckers born every day, every day... elisha, I'm sorry, I wouldn't know the answer to your question as I haven't baked with equal...though I suspect jam can't be good for a diabetic, period...

Nearer the farms and trees, maybe 10-15 per kilo. The small ones (native variety) were the sweetest. I was wondering whether you took out the seeds when making jam but your reply above says no. I hope to be able to make your jam recipe soon. MarketFan Hi Marketman,
