If so, that is the problem. Use only the seeds and the white part in the middle of the fruit, do not include any part of the skin or lining. Refer to the photo above and you will see it is only the whitish segments of fruit. Follow the proportions given, or reduce proportionately. Soak the seeds in the sugar first. Then cook. There is no secret, I did it exactly as described above... I hear mangosteens are down to PHP40 a kilo and I plan to make many jars in Cebu in a few days time... Oh, and don't cook it as long as I did in the post above, maybe 30-45 minutes is enough, instead of over an hour... You must soak the seeds int he sugar to draw the water and flavor out of the fruit. Just follow the instructions in the post above and you will have edible delicious jam. For one kilo of fruit unpeeled, I would use just 250 grams of sugar.

The result was mapakla.This is anexperiment though. I just used a kilo of the fruit which I bought from Kidapawan City, Cotabato. I washed the fruits well then opened them. Got the seeds and scope out the pulp too. Then I tried to cook them together. First I cooked it in medium heat with calamansi juice and a little water till it was thick then added the sugar in the last stage. I thought the mapakla taste would just go away. Unfortunately, it was still there. So I just stopped and throw what I did. Cant eat a mapakla jam. So what is your technique that is not mapakla? Do you boil it in water or soak with water overnight? Help me, I need advise...... I tried making mangosteen jam today. The result was mapakla.This is anexperiment though. I just used a kilo of the fruit which I bought from Kidapawan City, Cotabato.

Katrina, the seeds are sometimes considered the best part! Yum. Chew and swallow... a bit like an almond, I would say. sister, yes, I didn’t sterilize jars with jam in them as I just stored this jam in the fridge for consumption over the next few weeks…I wasn’t putting them away for months in the pantry…got to get some new jam jars… Katrina, the seeds are sometimes considered the best part!
