Wow! How timely! SOMEONE sent me a jar of mangosteen jam at my office and I just tasted it now — and I must say, I’m so starting to dream of toast, butter and breakfast sausages and fluffy scrambled eggs. What a dream this jam is! And what a dream come true to get my hands on such divine matter! I’m thinking of praying over the jam hoping it would increase in quanity. I’ve been given instructions to keep the jar in a dark, cold place for storage. That won’t be a problem. I’ll keep it under lock and key.

Kim, I am flattered, to say the least! But if I sell one, I will have tons of requests so I would rather keep the 7 jars that I still have. But here is a reasonable alternative. If your parents go to Market!Market! Mall and find the outdoor rice dealer (lots of different rice) across from them is the Rizal Dairy Farm store and they CURRENTLY have Kablon Farms Mangosteen Jam in stock. At PHP150 a bottle it is a bargain and I use this when I don’t have my own or can’t get Lorenzo farms jam. Do this now as the last time I posted this the store ran out in a couple of days. I was just there the other day and they had about 40+ bottles left still…

Hey Marketman! This is my first time posting, and I couldn’t help but wonder…I live in San Diego, but my parents are currently in Manila and will be returning to the States next week. Can I buy a jar from you? And I’ll work out the details about where they can pick it up from you…thanks!

MM, will you ever sell your concoction? I have never heard of mangosteen jam; it looks so yummy. And so many uses – from sandwich spread to ice cream topping to tea sweetener. If you ever decide to sell it, make sure we’re able to buy them online too for some of us who are not in PI.

Mita, The best is Lorenzo farms, but very hard to find, unless you know someone in Davao or the Lorenzos themselves. I have been buying Kablon Farms Mangosteen Jam and the only place I have found it recently is at the open market section of the Market!Market! Mall in Fort Bonifacio. Surprisingly, depsite this being very Filipino, it is extremely difficult to find now, hence making it from scratch and stockpiling it is such an event…
