Green mango jam

This ingredient is called for in a short ribs recipe I want to make, but I've never heard of it nor do I know where to find it. The recipe is Filipino, so I'm guessing it may be a native ingredient. Any leads? Thanks.

interesting! I never heard of green mango jam used in a filipino BBQ recipe. Must be something new or from a different part of the Philippines!

The only way I know how to make filipino BBQ is to marinate the meat overnight in soy sauce, vinegar, smashed or minced garlic cloves, black pepper and garlic salt. When you're done marinating, weave the thin strips of meat onto a wet bamboo skewer or for larger pieces, simply throw on a grill.

Green mangos are eaten quite often in the Philippines - especially in the Pangasinan area which is in just north/northwest of Manila. In this area, they eat unripened or green mangoes with bagoong - a salty greyish-brown anchovy condiment or alamang - a salty bright (almost neon) pink shrimp condiment. Pangasinan is the bagoong capital of the philippines and is used in many of the area dishes.

May I ask where you got your recipe? I'd be interested in checking it out and others to try!

The link to the recipe is below:

One of the responses w/in the recipe post says that green mango jam may not be available in the States. To be honest, the recipe looks kind of blah unless green mango jam has some serious flavor, but really I'm just looking for a summery recipe to get some shortribs out of the freezer (unfortunately I don't have a grill and they are think flanken cut).

If I were to take a stab as to where to begin looking for green mango jam, it would be in the groceries along argye/broadway. They tend to carry many southeastern ingredients so I would look there! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing the link too!
