i guess my comment will be really too late since i just came accross this site. but i can’t help but comment on your pili article since my grandfather is the pioneer of pili candy making in Bicol. i am sorry if you had a bad encounter with the “copy cats”. next time you go to Legazpi try to visit the New albay Central Pilinut candy store.(cel:0917-558-0493) i assure you that you won’t regret your visit. you can mention to them this commment they might even give you a good deal. Take care

i like the pili tarts too..

my dad would always bring home pianono w/ pili filling (its like a roll with ground pili and butter filling) and those small breads w/ pili filling (i think they call it pandecilyos?) also whenever he goes to bicol :P

Mom used to make a good pili cake which was basically a butter cake paved with nuts instead of icing. The nuts were blanched, peeled and arranged in a concentric circle on the uncooked batter and dusted heavily with sugar which caramelized as the cake baked. Haven’t seen anything like that in a long time.Quite similar to a Dundee cake.

Hi MM, can mazapan be substituted for marzipan or almond paste. Or CAn I make marzipan out of ground pili? I have a few recipes for both (marzipan’s more toxic to make) and I was wondering if Pili nut can be a good substitute. I would like to use it as a sub for cakes that call for almond paste in the recipe – like a Pili cake. What do you think?

MM, they were sealed in those aluminum type pouches, and as far as I know, delicious, but after that post on fresh pili, I’m anxious to try that when I go to the P.I.
Do you think they would grow in La Union? It would be nice to grow on the family farms.
