curlytops, so glad you liked it. It is a personal favorite, but duhat season is just too short! :)

Serendipity! My daughter picked some duhat from our tree this morning. And a few hours later I read this while going through your old posts. Tried it. Liked it. Thanks MM!

AndreiMD, isn’t it amazing how purple it is? And there is absolutely no coloring at all, just the natural duhat… :)

We just tried your duhat shake at Zubuchon escario branch, we really liked it! My mom especially loved the purple color, great job MM! :)

I can imagine this as a very nice homemade Popsicle!

Mike, yes, they do make duhat wine... I haven't tried it though. What I have tried is "balsamic" duhat vinegar, several years ago, and that was quite nice.

A few years ago I saw duhat wine being sold at one of the posh Makati hotels (can’t remember which one). How I wish I bought a bottle. Care for making wine from your excess duhat?

fruit “violently shaken” … hahaha – if we can only do the same to some politicians!
milkshake or shake doesn’t necessarily use “milk” in the recipe. what makes it a shake is the ice cream and do not use ice – shaved or crushed. some smoothies even use milk (and yogurt) but are still smoothies, but a milkshake should have ice cream. Call it whatever, as long as it taste good …

tipat, yes, I made it the same afternoon we harvested the duhat, a few days before the post… Alex, they are referred to Java Plums in English. Mart, yes, we are waiting to see if there is an abundance of lomboy or duhat in Cebu markets soon, at the moment, no duhat in Cebu yet… The season lasts just 2 weeks or so just about now (during the hottest months of the year) so we can’t offer it for long. But soon, it will be santol season again, which lasts 2-3 months, so we will have santol juice back on the menu again… the santol juice is really nice. Jenn Chon, sorry, don’t know about benefits for diabetics. gaye, maybe in a week or two it’ll be in the markets… our tree seems to be a bit early this year. A neighbors tree is still a couple of weeks from ripening. tercer, you are absolutely correct, technically a smoothie, but most restaurants in the Philippines refer to this as shakes, so we follow the convention, meaning, fruit that is violently shaken :) Shakes were the shortened term for milkshakes, which btw, as trivia, in some fastfood restaurants are called shakes, not milkshakes, because they don’t actually contain any fresh milk… :( Katrina, I debated for a moment whether to christen this a “Duhat Shake a la Katrina” in your honor… but thought it might confuse some readers. :) Mrs. Froggie, for friends and family at Zubuchon, we had a limited offer of kamias margaritas that were DELICIOUS! I guess the duhat with tequila would be nice too… andrea that’s cool, never heard of seedless duhat… I would have guessed they were lipote. Akeeno, no, I haven’t thought to peel them, that would be a huge mess, and I like the aphudness or paklaness. anonymous paul, yes, I apply tannic to pakla, though I always used to say astringent…
