THE NEW JAMS FOR THE NEW MONTH

If you believe jams are only for breakfast and the kid merienda after school, you will really discover something new.
Some kinds of jams are accompaniment for various meals, from meat to fish, rice, pasta, vegetables or salad. In fact it is since some years a common accompaniment in many (good) restaurants.

Seen on Internet: French fries, meat ball and red fruit jam

These jams can be sweet and sour, jams with a strong character or spicy jams.


We have already the KALUMPIT (Sarali) JAM whose the red wine taste of tannins and raspberry marry with meat. It is the mixing of two opposite tastes which creates a new culinary sensation which surprises first and then enjoy the taste buds.


Today we add a new jam of this type: the BATWAN JAM. My dear friends, this one is born to marry with fishes! But batwan is also used in some recipes of chicken inasal so why not also with your chicken barbecue? By the way, the batwan or batuan (Illongo) or binukaw or binucau (Tagalog) is a brother of the mangosteen as shows its scientific name (and the picture): Garcinia binucao.
It is a rare and original jam you have to discover.

But with December arrives Xmas and we decided to offer you a new collection:

 the SPICY JAMS

Each jam of this collection has been tested and tasted by Chefs of great restaurants in Bacolod and a selection of friends who share with us the pleasure of the gastronomy. The improvements we did are the result of their remarks and we thank them for their judicious advices.
Every week of December, you will discover a new spicy jam of this very limited production. To not mistake with the sweet jams, the label is different:

With this sterilized SPICY JAM collection, LOLA’S GARDEN JAM has explored for you the world of spices. This collection offers you a gradation: slightly spicy, spicy, and very spicy. You can choose what will be the best accompaniment for your meat, fish, rice, vegetables, salads or pastas, at Filipino breakfast, lunch or dinner. SPICY JAMS are not simple hot sauces. The sugar and, generally the vinegar, give a special savor sweet and sour. The flavors of the spices are progressively liberated like the perfumes of a bunch of flowers.

This week, I present you: the SWEET PEPPER JAM is a little spicy with a touch of red hot pepper and is closed to the taste of some Thai dishes.

Coming soon on your table:

- the GREEN MANGO JAM,

- the RED CHILI JAM,

- the GINGER JAM

Enjoy MORE your meal with the SPICY JAM collection of LOLA’S GARDEN JAM!

The question of the week:

Why a slice of bread with jam falls down always the side of jam on the floor?

This great and fundamental question should be related with the laws of Murphy which say something like: if something wrong can happen, it will infallibly happen.
But some scientist having probably nothing more important to do demonstrated that it is more or less impossible the slice of bread falling from a table reaches the floor on the good side (without jam) because of the height of the table and the gravitational force: the slice of bread cannot turn more than 3/4 of turn. So  the face with jam touch the soil first.
Note: if we push farer the computation, to fall on the good side, the table should have a size of 3 meters, and this type of table, you will agree, is relatively rare.
