Jackfruit Syrup
Weird (but good).
Jackfruit or ‘Lanka’ (in Tagalog), tastes like if a pineapple, banana and mango had a baby - it’s tropical and sweet and figured it would make for a killer syrup in a tiki drink or hell, even an Old Fashioned (subtle foreshadowing).
Fun fact: The average jackfruit weighs between 15 to 35 pounds (7 to 16 kg). However, as the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, they have a massive size range; smaller varieties can weigh under 10 pounds, while exceptionally large specimens can easily reach 80 to 120 pounds (36 to 55 kg)
Follow along for Part II because I’ll be making something amazing with it but let me know what you’d make with this too!
ingredients:
4 oz Water
2 cups Demerara sugar
2 cups Fresh Jackfruit
instructions:
Combine water and jackfruit in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stir, and let steep for 5 minutes. Add sugar and stir for 5 minutes or sugar is dissolved. Strain, cool, and store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
