Cut open papaya -scoop out seeds and peel ...grate---it will look like fine shreds ( I used a handheld grater)

Squeeze out some of the juice from the shredded papaya .

In a pot over medium heat add the shredded papaya, the sugar , the lemon zest and lemon juice

Cook until the mixture gels ( all liquids should be dried up)as shown in step pic---put into a dish and let cool completely

Shape into balls and roll into the cinnamon sugar coating.
