Win a Bottle of Marketman’s Mangosteen Jam!!!

bott2

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! If you would like to try your luck at winning a jar of Marketman’s homemade Mangosteen jam, this is all you have to do: just leave a comment on this post, tell me what city you are currently in, when did you first start reading marketmanila.com (approximate date is fine), and what you would do with a bottle of mangosteen jam (how would you enjoy it?). It’s that simple… after a couple of days, I will have The Kid pick random winners from all of the folks who left comments. You may join from anywhere on the planet. But here is the catch, the winners will have to pick up their bottle (or send someone else to pick it up) from a Megamall location at a date and time to be announced after the “contest” is over. I cannot send it to you in any other way… there are no ifs, buts or whys about it, got it? :) So leave me a comment like:

St. Vincent and the Grenadines, February 2005, I want to make a trifle using mangosteen jam

or

Bacacay, Albay, December 2006, Palaman ng Pan de Sal

bott1

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Your odds of winning are far better than lotto, and you don’t even have to buy a ticket! I will add bottles of jam as the comments pile up, putting as many as 5 jars of jam up as prizes… Good luck, and Happy Valentine’s Day to all!

Daily Inquirer … that must have been 2004 (or 2005? sorry I really have poor memory).

    I dream of hot pan de sal (with queso de bola spread) and your mangosteen jam.

    Happy Valentine’s Day, MM!

  4. Vancouver early 2006, around the time of the fish pan lady episode. Slather the jam on a slice of hot pan de sal.

  9. San Francisco, CA mid to late 2006 when i was looking for an ensaimada recipe. Spread to skyflakes and see how good it is.

  10. I already received my share of mangosteen jam but it made a terrific sauce for roast duck last night. Cut it with red wine vinegar, and chop seeds for texture.

  11. Yours truly from Paranaque City, Metro Manila.

    Started lurking hereabouts February 2007; posted my first comment April 9, 2007 regarding your article on the Aani Weekend Market in FTI Complex Taguig.

    I would love to use that now legendary mangosteen jam of yours as filling for jelly roll slices which will serve as the bottom and side lining for a Mangosteen Cheesecake ala Charlotte creation. Ditto for a Coffee Mangosteen Sans Rival original recipe I came up with for the recent holidays.

    Win or not, more power to you MM!

  12. haddon township, nj – august 2006. will use it as topping on plain new york cheesecake. thank you!

  14. Makati, 2006…. would send it to my sister and brother-in-law in San Francisco. They both just love mangosteen! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, Mrs. MM and The Kid.

  30. P31 from the city of smiles, Bacolod City. I started reading your feeds since September of last year and since then, couldn’t miss a post! MM’s mangosteen jam would be a great filling for my homemade waffles or topping for the kids’ morning pancakes!

    Started reading in 2007 when I saw an article about you in Yummy maazine.

    Will use the mangosteen jam on a buttered croissant.

    Will share it with my dad who is diabetic. They say mangosteen is good for diabetics. He drinks Xango mangosteen juice. And he is a jam fanatic.

  49. Bacolod City 2004?? I’ll use that little bottle to start a Xango-like Multilevel Marketing brouhaha racket and name it MaNgo for Marketman’s Mangosteen. I’ll then fool a few million folks, embezzle, get rich, party hard, get caught, apologize and weep in public for not moderating my greed.

  50. Dallas, TX. I discovered your blog the early part of 2005. I would make barako or coffee macaroon (laduree style) with mangosteen jam filling.

  51. Las Pinas City, I started reading your blog in 2006. I had read it religiously, as in daily since last year. I will spread the jam over crackers, toasted bread, Melba toast or pandesal. I will share it with my friends and relatives. I definitely will have it with a cup of coffee.
    Happy Valentines to everyone!

  52. I’m from Laguna and started to visit your blog almost daily since May 2007. I like fresh mangosteen and I’m curious on its taste as a jam. Like to try it over hot pandesal or pancake topping in one Sunday morning.

  66. Tortola, British Virgin Islands; started reading your blog while I was waiting for my work permit and visa in march 2007; I’d love to try and make a mangosteen mousse with your jam

  67. Divisoria, Tondo, Manila. I started reading your blog in 2006, after I gave birth to my daughter. I read your blog while she is napping. If I win some mangosteen jam, whether I put it on bread or cake, I will remember my grandmother, who loved mangosteen.

  68. Pasig City, just yesterday February 13, 2008, get a teaspoon and taste it first and then eat it straight from the jar (I don’t know how mangosteen jam tastes like so I’m really excited to try it) :)

  69. Quezon City, September 2007 while blog hopping, I haven’t tasted mangosteen in my whole life so far so winning the mangosteen jam will be a perfect time to finally have a first taste of it. Yes! Im giving Marketman’s jam the honor :) “Lanlanon lang nako… Hmmmm… ” :)

  70. Quezon City, been lurking since late 2005, spoon it over hot toast and melted hot pepper jack cheese …yummy :)

  71. Currently in Cebu but recently got married and moved to Manila.
    Started reading late 2006.

    Happy Valentines Day!

  72. I’m from Tagbilaran City but currently working in Cebu. Started reading your site last September 25, 2005 when you featured about Tagbilaran City Public Market.

    Eversince I’ve tasted my first mangosteen jam given by you, I seem to crave for more hehehe.

  73. I’m Cathy from Alabang, I started reading Market Manila about June 2007. I’d love to put your jam over hot waffles and pair it with freshly brewed coffee!!! I pray I win a bottle!!!

  74. Makati City
    Around September 2007
    I will give it as a once in a while treat to my mom for keeping her blood sugar level low! :D

  75. Manila, mid-2006 while googling a couple of Filipino recipes. I’ve been part of the Marketmanila groupie since then. Haven’t had the chance of attending EBs but I’ve stalked your digital footprints – went to Balthazar’s and MOMA in 2007, got the little brown book, that sort of stuff. What I would do to that mangosteen jam? Spoon it up, take self portraits while clearing the spoon of all residue, and put all those photos on my blog for everyone to see and hate me for actually winning. I jest. :)

  76. Seattle, Washington

    October 2007

    Even though I can’t win (because I can’t pick up the jam), I’d love to try it on Sans Rival.

    Betty Q.- I think I’ll take you up on your offer of how to make fool-proof sans rival. . .

  77. From Toronto, Canada. I’ve been a fan since reading the PDI article online about you (can’t remember exact date, sorry). I’d have the jam as a dessert – as is, especially after a meal of rice/pinakbet or any dish with bagoong! Sluuurp!

  78. Makati. Discovered your blog in August 2007 while researching for my baby’s 1st birthday party :) Would love to try your jam on warm buttered whole wheat toast with a strong cup of coffee (unfortunately decaf since I’m still nursing my toddler)

  79. Makati, started reading your blog: Jan 22,08. i would love to taste your mangosteen jam as toppings for my cheesecake. its my mama’s birthday today and she too loves mangosteen so i will just give it to her as part of her belated gift?!?

    Thanks.

    Happy Valentines!!!

  80. Hongkong.2005 pa I started reading your blog.Just curious how does it taste.I just leave a comment when a contest like this, trying my luck.he he he.

  81. Manila. can’t remember the exact date/year. around 2006 i guess. i’d love to pair the mangosteen jam with coffee ice-cream (arce, FIC)… reminds me greatly of magnolia’s coffee-mangosteen ice cream that my dad used to bring home as pasalubong during christmas season =D

  82. SFDM, QC. Dec. 3, 2005 (naka save pa kasi yung email ko na na discover ko itong site na ito :)). Palaman sa tinapay or papak.

  83. Makati, sometime 2006, mangosteen jam with coffee cake and/or vanilla ice cream. I’ll probably try it solo too (i.e., I’ll eat it by itself like I do nutella).

  84. Los Baños, Laguna
    2006
    Haven’t tasted mangosteen jam in my entire life. If ever, this time will be the first. Mangosteen jam on a hot pandesal with brewed coffee being enjoyed in my balcony facing a blooming rice field on a quiet, rainy afternoon would be excellent…

    keeping my finger crossed!

  85. Los Baños, Laguna
    October 2007
    hmmm,, a spoonful of mangosteen jam on top of my favorite puto seko of pampanga!!

  86. Davao City, 2007,

  90. Makati, August 2007, I want to spread it on banana bread and with a cup of coffee it will be a delightful breakfast in my office.

  91. >>started reading MM 2 years back while i was still in qatar…currently in makati.

    salivating already on the thought of having that yummy spread over a semi-toasted pandesal along with a hot brewed coffee from our farm in amadeo.

  92. makati/pasay; during downtime at work a couple summers ago in 2006, an reader since then, especially since i got a home dsl connection; i’ll have just a taste then i’ll give it to my mother as a treat when she visits us from the province next week. thanks, mm! :)

  93. Beijing, China. November,2007.

    Here’s what i will do with your Mangosteen Jam prize:
    1. I really miss pan de sal in the morning there in Manila. My husband and I arrived here in Beijing last July, ’07. I will buy some Golden bread (similar to pandesal), which can be brought in Carrefour supermarket, toast it and spread Mangosteen Jam on it. Of course, nothing compares to our home-made pandesal because it is fluffier and softer.

    2. Instead of putting bavarian cream inside the Cream Puff, i’ll bake it using the mangosteen jam.

    3. Today, Valentine’s Day, for dessert, I will imagine splurging on strawberry flavored Haagen Dasz icecream topped with mangosteen jam, chocolate syrup and cashew nuts. Yummy!!!

  94. Paranaque City, started reading your blog in 2006. I spread butter on a nice bread like baguette and then spread the glorious mangosteen jam. Hope I win, Hope I win!

  95. Makati City, 2nd quarter 2007 (or so), will pair the mangosteen jam with coffee ice cream.

    Wishing everyone a love-filled day! Happy Valentines!

  96. Singapore
    Started reading early last year
    I’ll spread the mangosteen jam over my kiddos pancake. I’m sure it’ll be a great brekfast for them.

  97. I stumbled upon your blog googling Culion. That was late March 07. Since then I have read through all of your previous post and tried several of your recipes. (halaya, bibingkang latik. paksiw na pata, tarte tatin atbp.

    I work here in HK as a DH and I’ll share your mangosteen jam with my friends when they come over on Sundays for Breakfast. I’m planning to try making jam next time they come in season.

    p.s. In case you’re wondering how the jam will get here if I win it, a friend of mine is going home first week of March and she can bring it back with her after my son picks the jam.

    Thanks MM.

  98. Calamba in Laguna, started reading MM last March 2007, i like to enjoy the mangosteen jam on buttered toast with my hubby and son!

However I would usually be so hungry after reading your blog that I would stop studying and go eat, then fall asleep. Hahaha. Anyway I’d have your jam in a homemade crepe with Ben and Jerry’s vanilla ice cream!!! Yum!

  104. New Manila, Last quarter 2007. Encounter your blog through OAP, really enjoy reading your posts. Am crazy about mangosteens but have never tried the jams, think its a good combi with hot pandesal and coffee. PS-If i wasnt lucky to win, where can i buy the popular mangosteen jams, huh….

  105. Shenzhen, Mar/April 2007 (but I visited your site before that, but can’t remember when); haven’t tasted mangosteen fruit yet, will try the jam first

  106. Paranque City. October 2007. Share it with my mother in law and have it as a palaman sa mainit na pandesal na may keso.

  107. quezon city, september 2007. 1. mangosteen cheese cake 2. flavor chicken wings with it, then roast the chicken wings. you know how you put orange marmalade on chicken (with kalamansi and little kikoman!, it should give a different flavor

  112. Melbourne, Australia
    April 2005

  113. Pasig City. Hooked since 2007. Mangosteen jam = sandwich/pancake spread, blend with vanilla or coffee ice cream. Happy Valentine’s Day! :)

  114. Quezon City
    December, 2005…

    I will surprise my sister with a breakfast in bed using the mangosteen jam as the “queen” of her breakfast. She has been studying so much for med school and I seldom see her cute dimples when she smile and I think a surprise like this is something that make her feel really special and loved.

  115. Sta Mesa Manila. Around March 2006.
    Here’s what I would do:

    1. Use it as a filling for crepes along with grated cheese, top it with a little bit more drizzled mangosteen and nuts for presentation.

    2. Make a plate of Pancake filled mangosteen that stacked 3 pancaked per serving that when you cut a portion hot sweet mangosteen oozes out from within.

    3. Use it as a dip for fish/ chicken fillet instead of using the usual tartar sauce.

    YUM YUM!!!! =)

  116. I started reading in late 2005 while I was still living in Subic. Living in Makati now.

    Truthfully, I’ve never had mangosteen jam. I’d love to try it though.

  121. As soon as I receive my prize I will call up the Pugon de Manila, find out what time their Big Pandesals will be coming out in the oven so I can get on the tricycle to go to the bakery with my bottle of jam, buy about a dozen pandesals and eat about 3 right there in the trike on my way home. When I get home I will tell the wife that there were only 9 or so pandesals because they ran out. Or I can make the trike run around in circles till I eat my fill.

  122. Tagum City, Davao Norte. I started reading last around October of 2006 but was still too shy to leave any comment then.If Im lucky enough to have a bottle it try yo use it on a muffin recipe leaving around half of it to be consumed the way I love…digging in and savoring it spoonful by spoonful…okay….I might slather some on my morning Pandesal.

  123. Paranaque, February 2006 (was looking for a recipe for ensaymada); on top of slightly toasted slice of batard and sprinkled with goat cheese from Malagos!

  124. Hi Marketman, Mrs. MM and the Kid! Happy Valentine’s day! Kasseopeia is from Malate, Manila who started reading MM around April-May 2007. If I had a jar of MMMJ, I would:

    1) Bake a coffee-mangosteen cake despite the oven’s long-standing grudge against me.
    2) Use it to top a dessert pizza
    3) Spread it on a toasted bagel and serve it to my mom and dad in bed.

  125. Happy Valentine’s! I have been visiting your Market Manila around June 2006. Im from San Pedro, Laguna.

    Magosteen jam on skyflakes.

  126. Guadalupe, Makati City. I think around 2005 but what im sure is that is was able to attend the 1st and 2nd EB with MM. I will spread it on Skyflakes.

  127. Happy Valentines Day! I’m from Quezon City and I started reading your blog in 2006. I’ll use it as bread spread. I’m really curious about what it tastes like =)

  128. aj, az; started reading the blog in 2006 (forgot the month) when i was looking for a good humba recipe. i will spread the jam on a piece of toast and spread the love around the house.

  129. makati city, 1226
    sometime in 2006
    now, close your eyes, imagine… freshly baked moist yummy butter cake w/ mangosteen jam + coffee! üüühhhhmmmmm!

    happy LOVEntines day to everyone!!!!

  130. hi market man!

    i’m from Paranaque and I started reading your blog around September 2007.

    if i win the jar of mangosteen jam i’ll most probably have it for breakfast with pan de sal, but i’ll also try it out with ice cream…i don’t think i’ve ever come across mangosteen-flavored ice cream. ;)

  131. Kansas, USA. October 2005 (Turbo Oven).

    If lucky enough to be picked, I will have the poor but deserving medical student I’m helping for $100/month to pick it up and for her to keep it. She is graduating this March and it would be a GREAT present for her considering it is from MM. I will tell her to spread the jam into hot pandesal!

  132. san mateo, rizal
    September 2007

    i’ll bring it to school and share it with my friends.
    i’ve never eaten mangosteen before. or i just can’t recall. hehe.
    i wonder if we can make mangosteen cheesecake. :D
    exciting!

  133. Taytay, Rizal — sometime 2005, or was it 2006?
    My husband would love it in his pan de sal, with kapeng barako; I’m diabetic, but a wee bit wouldn’t kill me.

  134. Brisbane Australia – approximately June 2006. I just want to enjoy the sweet fruity tang of the jam on toast in the morning. My Family from Makati will collect it if I am lucky enough to win!

  135. Tagaytay City, I think last December 2007 when I googled for masa podrida.

    I will mix it with coffee ice cream. I miss Magnolia Ice Cream’s Coffee Mangosteen, eh. I think I haven’t had it in a looong time. Does your jam have some of the seeds in it? Magnolia ice cream had.

    Win or lose I am happy for the existence of your site. More power!

  136. Canouan Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, February 2007, i’ll eat it with a hot pandesal and tea.

  137. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I started reading your wonderful blog first half of 2007 when I was in Maputo, Mozambique. I would spread the mangosteen jam on a hot, crispy baguette and enjoy it with my wife and kids during a belated Valentine’s day breakfast in Manila next week.

  138. Las Pinas, since 2006, to pair with bread, cheese, cupcakes and best of all, to have my 2-year old daughter taste it! :)

  139. stephen, Davao, started November last year. I would share it with our office clerks over 3pm merienda and I’ll try eating it with anything coffee flavored to see if it’s really that good.

  140. iloilo city, since i read about your site on the pdi (2005??), on vanilla ice cream, or on skyflakes… happy valentines day!!!

  141. I am based in London, England and been reading your blog since early 2004, probably Feb or March. I never had mangosteen jam and am dreaming of trying them on pandesal or homemade scones. Oh and by the way, I will be in Manila next month so I can pick up my jam as soon as I get there! :-)

  142. Los Angeles, CA. Started reading marketmanila.com in May 2007 when I was browsing Google for the best desserts in Manila. Never had the privilege of tasting mangosteen in my life. I’m not even familiar with how it looks. However, seeing all the hype surrounding the famous MM’s Mangosteen Jam, in addition to my compelling curiosity, makes me want to have that jar more than anything else and I’m going to enjoy a big spoonful of it!

  143. Long Beach, CA. I had been reading Market Manila for two years and I would eat a spoonful of jam with a slice of brioche everyday so that the jam will last me for a long time I hope. Market Man, please reconsider shipping abroad, I had been a loyal reader for two years and I even made the apple pie recipe. Common Kid vote me in, I adored your ginger bread village creation last Christmas.

    Cheers,
    JD

  144. Mandaluyong. When the Inquirer article came out. I’d use the bottle in a number of ways:
    – in a cottage cheese-sour cream blintz
    – to top my creamy coffee jelly panna cotta

  145. Quezon City. Sometime between September-October 2007. I’d use it over a slice of pound cake and experiment it together with cream cheese or buttery frosting.

  146. I can’t help but notice, there were only 117 votes for MM’s Mangosteen Jam (I can proudly say one of those is mine) but there are more than 200 entries here. LOL

    I’ve been a reader and sometimes commenter since 2006. I live in New England. :)

    I will savor every spoonful of MM’s mangosteen jam. If it can be frozen, I will keep it in the freezer and only get a tablespoon every month. If not, then I will keep it in the soft freeze drawer of my fridge so it’ll keep forever. It’ll be my ‘guilty pleasure’ each month. LOL

    One of the many things I can think of is spreading it on a freshly toasted English muffin or croissant. Sarap sigurado…

  147. Angela@Seattle, Wash.: I would be more than happy to share with you and others who might be interested in making the Coffee Mangosteen Sans Rival. Send me an e-mail:bettytrinidad@hotmail.com.

    Since you only live 2 hours way from Vancouver..please drop by and we can make Sans Rival, Ensaymada,etc. I have soooo many friends in the food industry who up to this day, we hang out. One in particular in a VISUAL PERSON…she has to see it how I make things like my Indian Candied Salmon or Chocolate Roses…so she invites herself to our house and have coffee and start baking or smoking FISH!!! So, if you;re heading out to this neck of the woods, come on over. Or next time we go down South (Washington or Oregon), I will show you how to do the Sans Rival. Sometimes it helps to see the right consistency of the meringue, etc….drop me a line and we’ll go from there…sounds good?

  148. Beijing, China; I’ve been reading Marketman since 2006! I would use it as topping for coffee ice cream (have been endlessly curious about it since I read it here), for coffee mangosteen cupcakes, and for spreads!

  149. just had another idea – make a mangosteen vinegrette for salads, much like the strawberry kind. yummmm!

  150. Pasay City/March 2007 – I would love to use this jam
    for my freshly baked cupcakes! Yum-o!

  151. Indianapolis, since early 2006. To be spread on hot toast, and eaten with a cup of nuclear-strength coffee…

  152. Pasig City, Philippines/August 2007 – If ever I will win a bottle of mangosteen jam, I’ll take a picture of it, post it in my multiply website to let my friends know that I won!

  153. Pasig City, been a regular reader since late 2006. Would love to try it on hot toast with cream cheese. Maybe even as a topping over vanilla ice cream. :)

  154. Pasig, Manila / around 3rd quarter of 2005.I was pregnant with my fourth kid at that time and would spend my day drooling at the posts. hehehe. My office mates would pass-by my cubicle and see remark , “Pagkain na nman ang browse mo?” hehe.. Still have not lost the pounds I gained,
    For the jam, spread it on Skyflakes crackers with cheese for the counterpoint to its sweetness. =)

  155. Cainta; late 2006; palaman sa pandesal with melted quezo de bola! ang sarap!

    Thanks MM, this is fun!

  156. Merville, Paranaque Been reading your blog since 2005. Mangosteeb jam will be great with my morning toast with butter and Nescafe gold!Cheers to your blog.

  157. Taytay, Rizal; June 2005; as vanilla ice cream topping, as sandwich spread, as coffee cupcake filling and as coffee/hot chocolate sweetener!

  158. New Manila, QC. To be honest this is my first time here but will surely visit again coz you have a very interesting blog. I love mangosteen so i’ll probably finish the whole bottle by myself…might let my mom try it coz she loves it too =) Did i mention that i’m 2months pregnant…i’m having mangosteen cravings na!!! =D

  159. mandaluyong city; 2004, after i read PDI writeup, rediscoverd in late 2005; as filling in toasted pan de sal, partnered with hot sikwate, for breakfast

  160. Kitty from Mandaluyong city, been checking this site everyday since november last year.I’m a preschool teacher who likes introducing new things to my students. I introduced langka and this would be a great way to introduce mangosteen to them! ;)

  161. Bacoor, Cavite. Spread it in a slightly toasted baguette or have it with ice cream (Coffee Crunch – he he he)

  162. oh and for the record, I tried my first mangosteen fruit because of this site. So, as of course everyone would agree, I owe it to this site, and MM, my first mangosteen experience :)

    On that note, have never tried the jam version of it. :)

  163. Hong Kong. July 2007 when my Aunt from Seattle sent me a link to your blog. Serve it with crackers / bread to friends in a party. It’s gonna be a novelty for sure. Left over will be for me on coffee icecream. Yum! I fly to Manila regularly so no problem in claiming the prize :)

  164. san juan mm, June 2007, taste it right from the jar (since i haven’t tried this kind of jam, would like to taste it first)

  165. Malate, Manila, October 2007, spread it generously on pan de sal and quell my curiosity on how marketman’s mangosteen jam taste

  166. Manila. Started reading in 2006. Spread mangosteen jam on crostini, top with a shaved slice of Edam to cut the sweetness and share it with my 85 year old Ma who loves sweet stuff!!!!

  167. BF Homes, Las Pinas, September 2007, I’d spoon it right out of the jar and into my mouth for a quick and heady sugar rush.

  168. Hong Kong, I started a year or so ago, I would use the jam on French toast with whipped butter and a cup of hot chocolate, perfect cold weather breakfast! I’d use leftover jam to make a mangosteen bran muffin and eat this all warm with a cup of tea for merienda. :)

  169. Pasig City. Started reading your blog November last year. Spread mangosteen jam on wheat bread and share it with my family and officemates…

  170. From down under Auckland, New Zealand. I started reading your blog mid 2007 and from then on it has been a habit of mine reading your blog almost everyday. Would love the mangosteen jam with hot pan de sal or ciabatta bread . oh so yummy………..

  171. Manila, January 2007. I like the idea of giving it to my parents as an example of good Philippines food on their next visit. The reality is that it is more likely I will keep it myself to eat on hot buttered toast!!

  172. Mandaluyong City, reader since january 07 :) will cherish your jam over bowls of vanilla ice cream and crepes. been fantasizing (since your mangosteen season post) how mangosteens would taste like since i have not yet tasted a mangosteen…

  173. Makati City, June 2007, spread it on a hot pandesal…(“,) am so excited…my 1st time to eat mangosteen jam!

  174. Alabang
    approx. early 2007 :)

    – Peanut butter & mangosteen jam on toasted wheat bread or freshly baked pandesal

    – mangosteen jam on top of layers of graham crackers & whipped cream (my own version of “Mangosteen Royale”)

    – coffee bun topped with mangosteen jam

    – pancakes, waffles or crepe with mangosteen jam topping

  175. Location: Malabon City
    “discovered” your site around 2006, via Anton’s OAP

    – i’ll put it in a gift basket — with bread, crackers, cheese, and coffee.

    – tie the basket with a red ribbon;

    – and together with some flowers, present it to my mom.

    She is a mangosteen lover. And I’m sure she’ll enjoy this jam too.

  176. from Manila here… my first time actually to visit your blog! I’m going to share this jam with everyone… we haven’t tasted mangosteen jam yet. And it would be the first if ever I’ll get one! yeyyy!

  177. makati.around august 2007, i think. Your mangosteen jam would probably be worthy enough to put over one of my precious Bouchon bakery croissants. i froze and brought home about 3 dozen croissants, 2 dozen muffins…you get the idea…and i have half of one everyday for breakfast.

  178. London, England,mid 2006. Spread your jam over a hot toast with butter. I’ll be arriving on Monday to get my prize!!! Yipee!!!! Thanks!!!

  179. Pasig, Jan of 2008. I so love jams, and I’m planning to keep it underneath my bed so I could dream of it. I would love to try one of these Marketman’s Mangoesteen Jam. Please please.. let me have one..

  180. Enjoy reading your interesting blogs…..have been fascinated by mangosteen fruit…..somewhere in Davao there exists a mangosteen flavoured hard candy…..as for you jamp perfect also for paninis….those bought from Whole Foods here in the Willowbend-Preston area of Plano (suburb of Dallas) Texas….

  181. QC, a bit before the first Market Manila Eyeball in Galileo Enoteca…Aug or Sept 2005. With bread and butter or mixed with homemade yogurt.

  182. Bonjour Marketman, I’ve been enjoying your blog from France since 2005 and I would likewise enjoy your mangosteen jam with (fresh from the oven) croissants and toasted baguettes. I am also tempted to use it, instead of the usual fig jam, as a spread with foie gras (cuit au torchon) over slices of grilled french bread or pain de campagne for les apperitifs.

  183. Makati, started reading MM 3rd or 4th quarter of 2007. I haven’t tried mangosteen jam yet but if I win, I’d share it with my family over buttered toast.

  184. Im from Manila, and I came across this site tru Femalenetwork.com

    I would love a mangosteen jam as I heard the fruit has many health benefits! This is something healthy and delicious to enjoy in the morning, with your favorite hot coffee, and our very own pandesal! :)

  185. I’m from Makati, started reading your site late 2007 while reading March issue of YUMMY Magazine.

    I haven’t tried mangosteen jam but i really would like to eat it from the jar like the strawberry jam with my 2 years old grandson, i’m sure he will love it…..

  186. Bangkok, Thailand. I started reading your site mid 2006. I so love mangosteen and I want to try mangosteen jam on my toasted bread. yummy!

  187. Novaliches, Quezon City New Reader Jan 2008— I love free stuff>>> will use mangosteen jam in our desserts.. :P

  188. Quezon City – Makati :) I think around Xmas Season 2005. Like others, I would eat it straight out of the bottle on a spoon.

  189. Makati city: Around summer 2007 whilst coming across about an article of you in Yummy magazine.I think that Mangosteen jam of yours will turn out terrific on my up-and- coming experiment: pinoy scones and pinoy pate sandwich.

  190. Iligan City, since the yummy mag feature and chicken inasal became my kids’ all-time fave. Would like to try it on hot pandesal then try all the ways stated in the other blogs. Then I’ll let you know how many i’ve tried before my tummy rebels hahaha!!!
    Wow! This do show you have lots of fans, MM! Touching noh? Even if late na comment ko, bahala na, I still want to be counted as one. More power and God bless…

  191. Diliman, Quezon City. Discovered Market Manila via my friends blog entry about the only blog she reads when she is busy that was about a year ago March 2007.

    Mangosteen jam would be great on my buttered toast, fresh pandesal from the panederia sa kanto, on cookies for merienda, baon for my hubby, on mamon, ensaimada…the list will go on. I haven’t tasted any mangosteen jam ever. But it is one of my favorite fresh fruits from the south.

  192. From London…March 2007…Mangosteen jam on lightly toasted white bread sans the crust–and cup of tea

  193. Even if i’m late for your contest MM, i’d like to let you know for the record, what great pleasure and knowledge i derive from your site …From Iloilo with Love. inday hami/joy. March 2007.

    I can only imagine how your mangoosteen jam tastes. will have to find time to follow your recipe.

  194. I can’t believe I actually missed this contest. I Haven’t been online in a while, and to think I was thinking of buying mangosteen jam to eat with coffee ice cream..

    Anyway, even if the contest is over (or is it?), here’s my answer:

    2007 After I read about Marketmanila in Yummy Magazine, Las Pinas City, to be eaten with coffee ice cream
