Instructions

1

Preparing jackfruit

15 minutes

Drain young jackfruit from the can, rinse thoroughly under cold water and pull into fine fibers using hands or two forks.

2

Marinating

4-6 hours

Stir all marinade ingredients into a uniform mixture, add jackfruit fibers and mix well. Marinate covered in the refrigerator.

3

Dehydrating

7-10 hours

Spread jackfruit fibers thinly on silicone mats in the dehydrator and dry at 70 °C until the fibers are crispy-chewy and completely dried.

4

Cooling & Packaging

30 minutes

Allow jerky to cool completely on a rack and then pack into airtight containers or vacuum bags. Shelf life at room temperature approximately 2 weeks.

Pro Tip

Always rinse canned jackfruit thoroughly to remove the canned taste. For better smokiness, a drop of liquid smoke can be added to the marinade.
