CARAMELISED JACKFRUIT SEED CANDIES

Another jack fruit seed dish for you all . This time a really unique crunchy bite with this jack fruit seed.. any guesses……..

We used to eat caramelized sugar in various forms like crunchy  candied or caramelized peanuts, caramel with ice cream etc…. and that too is much popular in many countries.

Here I have made caramelized jack fruit seeds candies with the mild touch of cinnamon and vanilla. Really crunchy and yummy till the last bite.

. The only secret to success of this recipe  is to be patient and work over a low heat to avoid burning the sugar as it caramelizes.

INGREDIENTS

Jack fruit seeds                     - 2cups

Sugar                                      - 1cup

Water                                      - 1/3 cup

Cinnamon powder                 - 2 pinches

Vanilla essence                      - 1 ½ tsp

METHOD

Clean and peel the jackfruit seeds.

Slice all the the jack fruit seeds  into vertically half.

Deep fry the sliced jack fruit seeds in hot oil and keep aside to drain.Meanwhile in a pan Combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a syrup.

 Add the fried jackfruit seeds  and continue stirring for about 10 minutes, or until the liquids evaporate and a sandy-textured sugar mixture coats the jackfruit seeds.Lower the heat and continue stirring as the excess sugar in the pan begins to melt.Once the syrup begins to form, it will turn from clear to golden to amber. Stir constantly,in a medium flame  and be careful that the jackfruit seeds should not get  burn or darken the syrup too much.When the syrup is a medium amber color and the sugary coating on the peanuts has glazed, add the cinnamon powder and vanilla essence Spread the caramelized jack fruit seeds into a plate and allow it  to cool.Yummy crunchy caramelized jackfruit seed candies are ready to eat.
