Directions

Boil the Breadfruit

1. Place the skinned breadfruit in a large pot of boiling water.

3. Let the breadfruit cool for about 1 hour.

Hollow the Breadfruit

1. Using a small paring knife, gently core out the middle of the breadfruit to create a hollow center about 1–2 inches thick.

2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the Breadfruit

1. Carefully fill the hollowed-out centre of the breadfruit with the prepared stuffing.

Prepare the Glaze

1. Mix the strawberry jam (or chutney) with soy sauce in a small bowl.

Score and Glaze

1. Lightly score the top of the breadfruit with a sharp knife.

2. Brush the breadfruit all over with the glaze mixture, ensuring an even coat.

3. Press the peppercorns into the breadfruit in a diagonal pattern.

Bake

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes.

2. Add 1 inch of water to a baking tray to help steam the breadfruit while baking.

3. Place the breadfruit on a greased wire rack set over the baking tray.

4. Bake the breadfruit for 30–40 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 15 minutes.

5. Brush with a final coat of glaze once out of the oven.
