Traditionally, Jamaicans will clean, rinse, and season their meat 1-2 days prior to making this dish. Simply add your seasoned jackfruit to a ziplock bag or airtight container and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes (for a quick marinate) or at least 1 hour or overnight for the best results. When ready to cook, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes or so before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
