Have you ever Heard about Breadfruit Punch

I found another way to use the bread fruit, this is very original. This recipe was taken from  the  first issued of the Trinidadian magazine Dougle in Season (http://www.douglatt.com/).  I could not resist to get this recipe, it is very interesting to see what you can do with this fruit. Last time I found a recipe in our local newspaper featuring a chocolate candy made with breadfruit, very original. This fruit is very versatile, a few people know who to use it in the kitchen, so I will get as much information about this fruit an its use in the kitchen as I can. I hope you enjoy.

I will try to get a bread fruit for next week to try this recipe, it look like the rice chicha (Venezuelan drink) in principle. I will let you know my experience.

Dougla is a new cooking magazine from Trindiad and Tobago, I am really happy for the initiative of Sonja Sinaswee, for  her work  as well as everybody working together with her to carry out this project. I wish them the best in this jurney. I got a lot of information about Trinidadian food, that I will eventually featuring time to time.
