Baked Breadfruit
I have a breadfruit tree in my backyard and I can’t tell you how easy it is to prepare. Did my financial reporting and this dish costs .59 cents. .58 cents being the cost of the butter.
Ingredients
1 mature ripe breadfruit
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
Directions
1
Melt your butter, taking care not to brown or burn it, mix in nutmeg and cinnamon.
2
Place aside or better yet, place in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to set up again.
3
Once you have your ripe breadfruit pull on the stem, it should give way with a tug and when the step comes off, the innards should come with it as well.
4
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar into the hollow breadfruit.
5
Take your hardened butter mixture and with a knife or spatula, place into the breadfruit followed by the rest of the brown sugar.
6
Cover the hole in the top of the breadfruit (I tried using about an inch of a plantain to stuff the hole and it worked pretty well).
7
Place in a baking pan with 2 cups of water and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours.
8
Allow breadfruit to cool for 15 minutes.
9
Cut into quarters and dig inches.

Depending on the consistency of your breadfruit, it might not be a bad idea to prep up an extra 1/2 cup of butter to use once the breadfruit is quartered.
