We greeted our guests with lilikoi margaritas—yes, we made sure they included those fun little umbrellas—and presented a menu that included poke, laulau, BC-style salmon, kalua pig, chicken in coconut milk, baked beans, and an Asian-inspired coleslaw.

During December, 2011, good friend and co-vacationer Karen Laing mastered the art of making liliko'i jam. In January, I followed her lead and helped make some more.

In addition, we've made guava jam and grapefruit marmalade, all from fruit on our winter-house-sitting property or picked and gleaned from friends' properties.
I haven't even started on all the fresh papaya and avacado...
