SICANA OR CASSABANANA JAM, THE NEW JAM OF THE MONTH

You will probably think: "What's that, Cassava or Banana or a mixing of the two?" and, sorry, you're wrong. And I was like you when Josef Sagemuller asked me one time: "Do you know Cassabanana and what can I do with that?"
A few click later, it appeared Cassabanana was the English name of Sicana odorifera, a Brazilian origin cucurbit. The fruit is a sort of a big cucumber (30 to 60 cm long, diameter 10 to 12 cm)  red violet color with a very hard woody skin. The vine can reach 15 m.

A strong bolo reveals a sweet orange meat with a very original taste. The South American people use it directly as a refreshing drink during hot summer. Of course they make also preserves. It has also medicinal virtues (loss of voice, reduce fever) and dried slices of the fruit stocked in the cloth gives a nice smelt and cast out the moths.


And if now, here in Bacolod, you can discover this original fruit and very nice jam, it is because Josef had, one day, the idea to plant some seeds of Sicana in his garden of rare plants.

I let you discover the taste very original; our taster detected savor of vanilla, squash, melon, iced chestnut.
The launching is starting Friday 15th of July at Bob's Pastry (Deli, North Drive, Gaisano and Lopue's East), Pendy's, Virgie's, Merci (Singcang, Mandalagan and SM), Frankie's and Margie's.
