Baked Breadfruit

Directions

1. 1
   Melt your butter, taking care not to brown or burn it, mix in nutmeg and cinnamon.
2. 2
   Place aside or better yet, place in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to set up again.
3. 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. 4
   Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar into the hollow breadfruit.
5. 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. 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. 7
   Place in a baking pan with 2 cups of water and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours.
8. 8
   Allow breadfruit to cool for 15 minutes.
9. 9
   Cut into quarters and dig inches.
10. 10
    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.
