April 6, 2021

  • Yields: 12 Servings

Ingredients

1 cup water

1 tablespoon sugar

¾ cup white vinegar

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (seeded and ribs removed for less heat)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon oregano or fresh rosemary

½ a papaya (about 3 cups), cubed

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and warm water. Wash produce well and chop as directed.

2. In a small pot over medium heat, heat water and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes).

3. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium sized container with a lid. Cool for about 15 minutes.

4. Add vinegar, garlic, jalapeno and black pepper.

5. Add cumin and your choice of oregano or fresh rosemary.

6. Add about 3 cups papaya or as much as will be submerged completely.

7. Cover with a lid and let soak in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The longer the papaya soaks, the more flavor it will have.

8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
