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.

I was surprised to see mangosteen show up at our breakfast a few days ago. so it’s mangosteen season!I noticed though we got big pits in our mangosteen, is that the way it normally is or do we have some Phil varities w/ small, no pits?

I echo your fondness with mangosteens not only rich in nutrient but they are embedded with powerful antioxidant. The jam is out of this world!!! The seeds in jam taste like pecan to me. Aside from heightening the flavor of coffee ice cream it is also good as a topping for mocha flavored cheesecake.

Next to mangoes, mangosteen is my favorite fruit. I cannot get it here fresh. It is frozen and thawed out and the taste and texture just is not the same.
