Summer is the season for mangoes and jackfruits. We have few trees of jackfruits which bear different varieties of jackfruit(panas). We use the leaves to make khotte, fresh tender unripe jackfruit to make chips, randayi etc. Ripe jackfruit is very sweet and one of the most loved fruits in our family. We have very fond memories of opening up a ripe fruit in the morning, the entire family gathering infront of it to enjoy it. We loved eating it first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. It used to be the most cherished family time. Ripe jackfruit is also used to make a variety of dishes, one of which is bhakri. This jackfruit burfi is prepared with ripe sweet ones and makes great little snacks.

Take out the jackfruit edible parts and make a paste.
Cook the paste with sugar and then add coconut.

I like bufi and tried your recipe. It is so tasty. Thank you!
Tried this recipe…came out well… but I felt it’s too sugary… next time I would like to reduce the sugar to 1and1/2 cups…2 and 1/2 is toooo much
Tried the recipe. Took a long time but came out well. I reduced the sugar amount as the jackfruit was already sweet.
