After posting about the last of the fresh fruit the other day I decided to check out the tinned fruit stash. Although there wasn't a massive amount, there is more than enough to keep us in one of our five a day in fruit with a dollop of ice-cream or yogurt each day for either dessert or a snack for the next week or so.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Jackfruit though, possibly add it to a curry or something similar. I've seen it used in lots of vegan recipes, and that's perhaps why I bought it at some time in the recent past, but I can't for the life of me remember what plans I had.
Similarly with this Banana Blossom.
Oh well time for a bit of lockdown cooking experimentation methinks!!

Do let us know what you do with the jackfruit. I have a can too and am at a loss.

I'm going to try the recipe in the link that Marlene shared below ... it looks promising. I'll take photos and give some feed back :-)
DeleteHi Sue, I love tinned fruit, especially peaches.
ReplyDeleteMy son makes a pulled jackfruit, like a pulled pork type of thing but vegan.

Although I'm not keen on the texture of meat, and I have tried the Linda McCartney version of 'pulled pork' and wasn't that keen, I AM going to give this recipe a go. I don't have many of the ingredients but I do have things I can substitute.
DeleteThanks for the link, I've printed out the recipe for tomorrow :-)
Your welcome, hope it will be good.
DeleteHeard of Jackfruit (never tried it though, is it just savoury or can it be used in sweet things?) but never heard of banana blossom.
ReplyDeleteI think it can swing in either direction depending on how you season it.
DeleteBanana Blossoms main use is as a fish replacement, but I don't have any Nori sheets to put on it to get the right'fishy' taste.
I tried jackfruit once, no I didn’t like it one bit, but don’t let me put you off, try it
ReplyDeleteI don't have high hopes to be honest, but I'll give it a whirl 😬
DeleteI believe if you follow a recipe similar to pulled pork for the Jackfruit as it shreds like pork apparently.
ReplyDeleteIt does, I'm just hoping that doesn't put me off 🥴
DeleteI think Jack Monroe used jackfruit in various recipes in Tin Can Cook
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'll have a look at that too, thanks 😃
DeleteI am really interested in what you will do with the banana one.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
So am I ... 🤣🤣
