Notes
Steps 1 through 11 is to make the faux pomegranites. Skip these steps if you do not want to add them to your Che Thai. This desert is best served the same day but will keep in the fridge until the day after. Please finish by the end of the next day otherwise the jackfruit will begin to soften.
