Jackfruit and Strawberry Flan
May days have been quite wet in UK but that didn’t dampen noel nor me as we had loads of things planned to do this half term.
When the weather is wet, I tend to take him to Indoor Playcentres around Ipswich where you are guaranteed that u’r kids will run riot, enjoy, make new friends and most importantly getting out of the house.As I have taken couple of days off, We all had loads of things to do and to take him around.
His latest trip to Jan’s Madhouse was amazing as he went with his school friends and they had a splendid time there.The next couple days we went to cinemas to watch Spiderman 3 and Pirates of Carribbean. Time has just flown by and its already Friday and he slowly started taking his books out of his book bag to finish his home work.
We had a great time together going around places n meeting friends and I feel content when i see a happy face at the end of day which makes everyhting worthwhile.
Didn’t have time to come up with anything extraordinary for JFI-Jackfruit. To be frank, I am not a great fan of jackfruit, I love to have the ripe ones once in a while but never fancied any curry or anything. So I really looking forward for the round up so that I know what do to next time when I come across jackfruit seeds or raw jackfruit.
In the meantime I was quite happy to try a simple dessert with jackfruit and strawberries in whipped cream and added as a layer on a dry flan. Not many ingredients nor any elaborate method but a simple one with fresh fruit to enjoy after a dinner.
This wonderful forgotten fruit is the theme choice by the lovely Bee and Jai of Jugalbandi for the June, Jihva for Jackfruit and this is it!! My contribution to the great event.
Stumble it!

That looks delightful! I love those colors……you sound like you made the best of the weather, and had fun. That’s the main thing. I’m not too familiar with Ipswich, but I do love the English countryside….the foggy,rainy weather makes it even more beautiful in my opinion.
Have a lovely weekend,

Ah, but when you make dishes like these, one is transported to a cheery place full of laughter and sunshine. For a moment, the weather outside is forgotten.

That is a simple and neat idea. Fruits eaten in their original form are the best.
