This is a cheater's short cut as it uses a cake mix. However what is special is the addition of pudding and a bunch of eggs. It is rich and tasty. Ingredients:
5 star fruit, ribs and ends trimmed then slice 1/4-inch thick |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 signature pineapple supreme cake mix (yellow will do, if you use that add pineapple and use pineapple juice instead of water) |
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding |
4 large eggs |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup vegetable oil (i use canola) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Bring sugar and water to a gentle boil in a wide (12 inch or more) saute pan. Add the star fruit in a single layer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, turning over halfway.

4. Melt butter over a low heat in a 12 inch cast iron skillet or other oven proof pan with a handle.
