Dear Sir,
I am Belgian who lives in Cagayan De Oro, I have looked all around in CDO but I cannot find pectin for preparing my jam, even the big company’s like SM Mall give up on it because no sales, can you please tell me where i can find the Pectin in Philippines. Thank you.
Yours sincerely
Huylebroeck Ulrik

Do you have a branch already here in Manila?

myling, we make the jams and jellies in very small batches, and as such, don’t really keep that much in stock… but I thought we had enough guava jelly for months more… perhaps it was just the store that ran out? Please call the Mango branch at 032.239.5697 to see if they have it in stock. If you call a few days ahead, they should be able to set aside a few bottles for you when you visit… Guava is in season roughly August through October, when we make as much as our small crew can manage… then when it runs out, that’s it unfortunately. Making clear guava jelly is a tedious process and keeping its color an amber or light golden hue is harder than the folks that use brown sugar to get that deep dark color quicker… We have been poised to make mangosteen jam for the past 3 years, but there hasn’t been a bumper crop of mangosteens that find their way to Cebu. We should be swimming in mangosteen now, at say PHP20 a kilo wholesale, but it’s still PHP80 a kilo and therefore too expensive to make into jam for now…

i loved the way it looked so i bought a bottle to take home to bukidnon. it has been ages since i last saw such pretty guava jelly. and when i tasted it, amazing! it was like the lola’s guava jelly, the one we picked the fruits from wild guavas from. and the clarity! the next ( and last) night in cebu i went back to zubuchon to buy the other 3 bottles on display… safly they were sold out. where can i order ba? its quite far heheh so id like to know if u have stocks and which stores?? :) thank you.

Hi Marketman, this is the first time I’ve read about your jams. I can relate to that lady’s comments about guava jelly; my dad used to make them when I was a kid. Hindi ko ma-appreciate noon kasi masyado pa akong bata at sa sobrang dami! He doesn’t cook it anymore my parents moved to another place – no more guava trees. I wish I would be able to buy a bottle when I get home. I’d definitely give one to my dad :-)

Hi MM, been reading your posts and i am really enjoying it.. I like your your label esp the color…yeah, very laborious to make jellies and jam yourself (pg no time ka better buy the quality ones nalang), been making small batches for personal consumption (strawberries and guavas, never tried calamansi pa and yeah right very tedious un surely), but its all worth it. hope to read more exciting post here. thanks!!!

nice label…are these availble in your resto only? ( which is in cebu right?). I just got back here in Qatar but i hope to taste your jams on my next vacay. my lola used to make guava jelly but nobody in the family knows how to ;)
