Balig-ang

“ Lipote (Syzygium curranii) – Also called bahag, baligang or igot. This fruit species is INDIGENOUS to the Philippines. The tree is medium-sized, 9 meters or more high. The fruits are borne in compact clusters, small up to 20mm in diameter, round, dark red to black, rather dry but of pleasant acid flacor. The fruit is used in the making of preserces, wine, pickle, beverages and jelly. It is a good source of protein.” (http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/lipote-igot-bahag)

I shook this with sugar and salt. That would explain the "messy look" from all the juice that came out from it. Aside from Hagis, this is another fruit indigenous to Bicol. I am one of the lucky ones who get to enjoy this fruit every summer in Sorsogon. Yumyum!!!
