Kalamay-Hati [k?-l?-mai-h?-t?] is synonymous to holiday celebration and fiesta in Marinduque. This sweet condiment,which goes well with suman (sticky rice), has been a fixture of every tabledating
back to our great-great grandparents.
The culinary traditionhas been passed along for generations; that's why we are very happy to share withyou this delight from one of Nanay Toni's kitchen recipes. Our Kalamay-hati is
made of fresh coconut milk, "matamisna bao" (solidified evaporated sugar cane) and soursop (guyabano). Most coconut jam sold in the market today are made of ordinary
sugar. Matamis na bao is vastly superior because it retains the all- important vitaminsand minerals that are lost during the refinement of sugar. With the knownbenefits of coconut milk and the
silkiness of guyabano, this nourishing combinationproves to be a winner.
Nanay Toni has been serving this kalamay-hati on our holiday table for decades and we hopethat her unique way of cooking this scrumptious tradition becomes a fixture notonly on your holiday
table but on your everyday table, as well. Enjoy!
