1-20oz. can young green jackfruit in water, drained and rinsed
1cupfiltered water
1/4cupcorned beef spice blend or pickling spices
1/4cupapple cider vinegar
1beet(optional)
cheesecloth and kitchen twine(optional)
Instructions
Drain and rinse can of jackfruit. Place in crockpot.
Add water, spices and apple cider vinegar. You may wish to place the spices in a piece of cheesecloth and tie up with kitchen twine, creating a spice sachet. Otherwise, you will need to pick the spices out by hand at the end of cooking, which is a pretty simple task.
If you want the jackfruit to have the reddish flavor of corned beef, drop a beet into the crockpot at this point. It will not change the flavor and you will have a wonderful pickled stewed beet after cooking.
Cook on low for 4 hours.
This is what it will look like after 4 hours:
After 4 hours, remove from crockpot and roughly chop the jackfruit.
Add to Reuben sandwich or dip or eat with a fork. Delicious!
