Coconut jam and sweets
Matamis na bao, bukayo at iba pa
Traditional sweets made from coconut milk and meat: coconut jam, bukayo, and many kakanin. They use simple ingredients and sell well as pasalubong.
How it’s made
- Cook coconut milk with sugar slowly until it thickens into jam; or cook shredded meat with sugar for bukayo.
- Cool, portion and pack in jars or sealed packs.
- Label with ingredients and best-before date.
Who buys it
Households, pasalubong shops, bakeries and Filipino stores abroad.
Rules to know
FDA License to Operate and product registration for packed sweets. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.
Where it’s made in the Philippines
Made in almost every province, with local favourites in each.
How to start small
A big pot and steady stirring are the main tools. Sterilized jars and good sealing make it last.
