Live it up...

I was craving for this tropical fruit for days. And when I got the chance to buy at the market, haysus, I bought 2 kilos just for my self! I also bought a special shrimp paste (bagoong) to partner it as a dip! Yummy! The shrimp paste is kinda costly compare to other shrimp pastes in the market. Well, it's a special home-made bagoong from Dizon's farms. Imagine, I spent P80 only for the Bankok santols and P105 for the bagoong itself! I tell you, it's worth the price!

For the benefit of those who doesn't know what a Santol is...
The santol fruit is round and as big as a big apple. Inside the fruit there is a white juicy pulp around 3 to 5 brown seeds. The seeds are up to 2 cm long. The pulp is mostly sub-acid or sour. When the fruit is not ripe, the fruit is very sour. The Filipinos like it in that (sour) condition and eat this fruit with some salt. The fruit is usually consumed raw without peeling. In the local markets of the Philippines the santol is always for sale. Santols are also used to make marmalade. In glass jars the marmalade is exported from the Philippines to oriental food dealers in Europe and the United States.
