Kaeng Kanun Jackfruit Curry

Northern Thai Jackfruit Curry
Kaeng Kanun is yet another Thai Curry that is normally eaten very "hot" although the fruit and the coconut shoots help to moderate the chili.

At least an hour before cooking soak the raisins and sultanas in rice wine or Thai whiskey. Also marinade the game meat in fish sauce and freshly ground black pepper. In a wok or deep pan heat a little oil and saute the garlic then remove it with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the red curry paste until the aroma is brought out, then add the coconut cream and stir fry until the oil separates. Add the game meat and stir fry until the meat just begins to change colour. Remove the raisins and sultanas from their liquor ( save the liquor as you may need it ) add the raisins,sultanas and all the remaining ingredients except for the jackfruit. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, longer if the game meat is tough. Blanch the jackfruit in boiling water and rinse in ice water and cut into bite size pieces. Add the jackfruit to the curry and heat through.
