I'm going to try this fritter recipe when my tree here in south FL produces fruit this year. My tree makes so much ackee that I have been giving a lot away, so seeing how to store it properly will help since the ackee here is $11 a can at Winn Dixie. Doesn't the ackee get mushy when you boil it though? Mine gets very mushy when I make ackee and saltfish but stays firm when I sautee it with garlic. I like to eat it off the tree after the fruit opens naturally, tastes like green peanuts to me.

[@MeleciaW]

ackee can be eaten raw, you just have to make sure they are opened from the pod naturally

The best way to cook ackee is to steam,don't boil in the water,use a steamer. best result.

[@gracefoods]

Hi @sickhead331 the ackees must first be boiled and drained.

[@suss1]

how long do you boil Ackee for when preparing the fritters?

[@UnknownNetworkTV]

Big up ms Mazie!

[@sickhead331]

you have to boil the ackee before you add it to the flour or not???

[@racquelreid-grandison2687]

Yes

[@constancemitchell6309]

U boil it first if it is picked fresh fr the tree.
If tin ackee, open tin, drain it as it is already cooked. Be aware tin ackee is more softer and delicate fr the tin.
TIP!!!!
I drain, rinse it lightly with cool water, and set it aside to incorporate with the codfish and seasonings.
• Never knew ackee cld make fritters with coconut milk added. Wow. Must try this.

[@BelleTangeyTreeFae]

[@strikerm70]

make sure you cook it properly, if not, it becomes the perfect poison

[@maebell7515]

Not so

[@constancemitchell6309]

No true.
It must first be opened on the tree. A MUST. Then pick and clean out the membranes, wash it and u r good to go.
