Step 1

Drain and rinse can of jackfruit. Place in crockpot.

Step 2

Add water, spices and apple cider vinegar. You may wish to place the spices in a piece of cheesecloth and tie up with kitchen twine, creating a spice sachet. Otherwise, you will need to pick the spices out by hand at the end of cooking, which is a pretty simple task.

Step 3

If you want the jackfruit to have the reddish flavor of corned beef, drop a beet into the crockpot at this point. It will not change the flavor and you will have a wonderful pickled stewed beet after cooking.

Step 4

Cook on low for 4 hours.

Step 5

This is what it will look like after 4 hours:

Step 6

After 4 hours, remove from crockpot and roughly chop the jackfruit.

Step 7

Add to Reuben sandwich or dip or eat with a fork. Delicious!
