The Jackfruit

Well, K & I recently returned home from a trip to L.A. to visit family. It was a great trip, so nice to get some sunshine on my pasty white skin in the middle of January. I seriously felt like I was drying off. A few years ago we had been down in San Jose & picked up a Jackfruit from someone selling it on the side of the road & it was delicious. Sooo, that was what I wanted, no needed to find. Although it's a bit early in the season for these monsterous fruits, K was able to track one down at a fruit stand! Check it out! I could barely wait to get this baby home & crack into it. Although it was all I could smell on the drive home to Portland.

The jackfruit has such a unique tropical taste that it's difficult to describe. You eat the yellow part around the seed, it's such a big fruit & there's lots of waste, but it's worth every yummy bite. I wanted to use it in a recipe but couldn't keep any around long enough to do that!
