Description
Grace Ackees in Salt Water is a fruit with a nutty, slightly bitter flavor that's used in Jamaican cuisine. This fruit is native to West Africa. When ripe, the bright red fruit opens to reveal black seeds and a soft flesh. The flesh of the fruit is used in savory recipes, where it is often simmered with onions, garlic, and other aromatics. These ackees are packed in salt water, preserving their natural flavor.
Once cooked, ackee fruits have a soft texture that's similar to that of scrambled eggs. For a tantalizing delicacy, try this fruit in a white fish recipe with garlic, onions, scallions, and Scotch Bonnet peppers. Jamaica's national dish is ackee and saltfish. Serve it over boiled green bananas, freshly baked bread, or an aromatic rice dish.
