"Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Saute in a pan in a little oil, then add 1 bottle of your preferred BBQ sauce, a little water, a dash of vegan Worcestershire and liquid smoke. and simmer on very low for 1-2 hours. I added chopped seitan but that's optional. The jackfruit has a shredded texture, but is a little soft to me, so I added the seitan." - from Pamela Cooks (and thank you very much - I found canned jackfruit at an asian grocery store yesterday (along with a ton of other wonderful stuff, so decided to try this weird thing).
Note: I finally got around to making this. I must say I'm not all that nuts about this recipe, though it was easy and tasty. It was tasty because I used the bbq sauce I'd made - that's all you taste, really. Not the 1 1/2 onions you sautee, which should be more assertive, and certainly not the jackfruit, which appears to be important mainly for its texture. Next time I'll just make the bbq tofu with coleslaw - now THAT was great.

I tried this, and it turned out well, but my jackfruit didn't fall apart into "threads" like I'd heard it can. Do you know why this could be the case?
