Bugnay aka Bignay........It's not often that you find these trees and if you do, now is fruiting season. They grow in grape-like clusters and can be made into wine and some say it has medicinal qualites. I tried making jam last season and it came out good in flavour but a bit to thick in consistency ( overcooking perhaps ). There's a bitter-sourness that I like since I prefer my jams a bit less sugary . It's great on toast or served with panna cotta.

I wish I could help you with your questions. I know it is made into wine, vinegar and jam. Please visit www.marketmanila.com I think there was a feature once on Bugnay vinegar used in adobo.
there are a lot good berries here in my region @the cordilleras...there is a certain technique to make the jams good regarding the taste and the sugar content...it also depends on the time when we harvest...thats when the sun hits the plants at a certain time of the year for 2 months...more to come contact me @ wayniek68@yahoo.com
