Raw Papaya Syrup
The story behind this is interesting. So some papayas had been harvested being still immature and it was said that they would never ripen. I told my mum, hey, they do raw papaya salads in Thailand, so it must be palatable still. Why don't we try cooking them as vegetables and see how they turn out? Surprisingly, they were absolutely delicious as vegetables! I grated them up and added them to the stew I was making. So when I'm leaving shags back to Nairobi I take two of those rejected papayas with the aim of experimenting with them some more. I'm really fond of the process of preservation of food in many forms, my favourites being fermentation and sugar preservation. I've not successfully created a viable jam or marmalade but that won't deter me o! I'll keep trying! So I decide to go jam with the raw papaya. It still didn't give me a jam but it did better - a super delicious syrup that I can't wait to try on all types of desserts!
