Ripe Jackfruit (Langka)

One of tropical fruits I miss the most. Winter season is always the worst when missing them. All I can get are the cans with added sugar in them. Sometimes I get the ones that are over ripe it's very soft. I like it when there is still some crunch on them.

My parents have a several jackfruit trees on on their property and all we have to do is wait for them to fruit and pick when when ripe. Ahh, those are the days.


These are perfect, fresh and still have some crunch on them. I miss living in the tropic.

I had jackfruit for the first time in Kenya two years ago. It was everywhere, so we could just pull them off the tree and enjoy. What a treat!

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Mango Float

Image
They are in season now a days. I am talking about mostly any fruits. Here is my version of mango float that similar Filipino goes gaga about. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the sugar in this recipe is the killer. I can have this maybe once a year and I still prefer just plain mango anytime. This one was taken after a few hours in the freezer. You can see the cream and milk mixture are still runny. This one is taken the next day, when frozen. It turns out that DH love it. The only complaint he got was the taste is not even. He still wanted to make ice cream with the same ingredients. I can't wait to see how it would taste.
