Breadfruit Stuffed with Salt Fish Aud Ackee

Soak the fish in cold water; the length of time will depend on the hardness and saltiness of fish. Drain, and cook in fresh cold water. Simmer until tender, adding fresh ackees 15 minutes before the fish is done. Drain. Fry the salt pork in a large skillet until all the fat is rendered out. Add the onion and saute until tender. Flake the salt fish and add to the skillet with the cooked ackees. If using canned ackees, drain and add them at this point. Cook until heated through. If using fresh breadfruit, rub the breadfruit with butter and wrap in aluminum foil. While fish is cooking, bake breadfruit in a 350 oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool a little. Remove the core and, if necessary, a little of the flesh from the stem end. Stuff with the salt fish-ackee mixture. Rub more butter on the outside and return to the oven for about 15 minutes, or until heated through. If using canned breadfruit, line a buttered casserole with the mashed breadfruit, fill with the salt fish-ackee mixture, and top with more breadfruit. Dot with butter and bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Serves 6. Note: Salt Fish and Ackee can be varied, if it is served alone, by cooking a chopped hot red pepper and 1-2 chopped tomatoes with the onion,
