MM: I love mangosteen over all the fruits I ate and tasted. I always bought them when I was still in Manila even if it’s out of season meaning very expensive. Ingit ako sa iyo kasi it’s been so long I ate them.

MM, would you be able to recommend a place where you can buy almost homemade Mangosteen jam? I remember a company in Davao(?) that used to sell “exotic” jams even durian jams, was it Kablon Farms and they were pretty good but I don’t know if they’re still in the market. I will be visiting Manila in Dec and would be happy to get some tips. Thank you!

hmmm…..I’ve never tried mangosteen jam before. i guess from not being a jam or jelly person. i’m more of a butter person- plain butter, PB or my fav- almond butter.
am i missing something?

Those are my favorite fruits too. I can be stranded on an island and survive on just that. My mom-in-law who makes the best ube halaya swears by her mom and lola’s mango halaya.
It is sooo sarap daw though I never tried it yet because she is too lazy to make it . She said you have to mix it until your arm drops off , for about 2 to 3 hours. She isn’t too sure anymore of the ratio but believes it is 1 : 1, sugar and mango and that’s it. Begin by boiling in high heat and when mixture begins to thicken and bubble, lower the heat. I will defintiely try the mangosteen jam soon.
