Papaya Jam
- 3 cups papaya pulp (3 lbs. ripe papayas)
- 3 cups sugar
- ½ cup citrus juice
Makes about 6 6-oz. glasses
To prepare fruit:
Wash papayas, cut in halves. Scoop out seeds and discard. Scoop flesh into bowl or pan and mash with a fork or potato masher.
To make jam:
Measure prepared fruit into a kettle. Add sugar and citrus juice. Simmer together until it gives a jam test (about 1 hour). Stir occasionally to keep mixture from scorching. Ladle jam into hot containers and seal immediately.
