Breadfruit with Stew

Ingredients

  3. Take ripe breadfruit, scrape out the pulp and mix well with the milk, and pressed juice from a grated coconut. Add % tsp salt and 1 tbsp sugar. Bake 1% hr. to 1 hr.

  4. CHINESE ORANGE

  5. The China orange is the small acid orange. It may be used in place of lemon, and is very good cut in half and served with papaya for breakfast.
