Sweetened Plantain (Saba) with Jackfruit

sweetened plantain (saba) with jackfruit

I really fell inlove with Chef Tanke's Nilasing na Saging when I tasted it at 1521 so I told myself that I will make one. Though I know I don't know the exact ingredients she used to make it, I may as well try whatever it is that I have tasted from the dish.

Yesterday when I was at the local market, I saw a beautiful and ripe saba (plantain) and decided to make that delectable dessert.  Also, I got to use that jackfruit I bought last weekend before it spoils.

With a little imagination and experiment, I created a Filipino dessert. Something new to divulge in. This recipe does not need any rum or flambeing of sort, but still delicious. Hope you like it.
