What's in the Pantry...Mountain Maid Strawberry Jam

A half empty jar of Mountain Maid Strawberry Jam, a few slices of Jipan bread, and a lot of butter...perfect.


Made by the nuns of Good Shepherd in Baguio, it's a definite must-buy when you visit the summer capital. With real chunks of strawberry, it's a great example of a local success story, earning the good nuns some fame, and giving back to the community.




The jam and butter are a perfect complement to the croissant-like texture of the bread, and with a good cup of coffee, it's another perfect weekend. (Check out the Dude's previous post on Jipan Loaf Bread at http://dude4food.blogspot.com/2012/02/whats-in-pantryjipan-loaf-bread.html).



Here's wishing everyone an awesome weekend!
