Jackfruit (or J-fruit for short) is quite a wondrous "fruit" and can be used a variety of ways..  This recipe allows you to eat it raw or cooked, wether as a snack, tapas, nachos, (meat substitute with that pulled pork texture & flavor) for sandwiches, burgers, sliders, wraps, tacos, phauxxy cheese-steaks, casseroles and stir-frys..   The idea of this recipe is for you to decide what to do with your delicious j-fruit marinade after you prepare a great stock to keep in your refrigerator for at least a week without spoiling.

◊◊◊ The key ingredient of knowledge from this is understanding the template of  helpful practices/techniques to follow for this jackfruit marinade preparation.

^^Try to source ingredients from quality organic producers & farmers

consider an herb garden for teas, culinary, apothecary, tinctures, gifts and aromas..

Ingredients to add:

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbs olive/avocado/grapeseed oil

1 tsp ACV (apple cider vinegar)**

1 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp or tbs of jalapeño jar juice, or olive juice, pepperccini, pickle brine, etc

1 tsp soy sauce or teriyaki, hoisin, etc

1 tsp dijon mustard, or honey mustard, spicy or horseradish

1 tsp or tbs of lemon juice

1 tbs bbq sauce or sweet chilie sauce or tamarind sauce**

1 tsp maple syrup or agave**

1 tbs of hot sauce, or harrisa, sriracha, etc..

1 tsp horse radish: minced, sauced or powdered (optional, especially if there's no dijon mustard)

Mix it up (best with a rubber spatula) to evenly spread out everything on, in between, and into all the jackfruit

Taste after a few minutes of letting the spices to dissolve and the j-fruit absorbs it all. add whatever needs to be balanced and suit your taste (ie: savory if it's bland, or more sweet if it's too acid/tangy).

To incorporate this with cooking, if it's in a pan, what works for me is cooking at least halfway through everything else (veggies, lentils, beans, rice, etc) before throwing some j-fruit on the stove.   Reason being is that the marinated jackfruit tends to caramelize and stick to the pots and pans, which makes for a longer cleaning situation instead of nothing to clean off the pan by the ways I cook, and I'll be sharing my techniques in videos if you want to take a look.
