  • Pot(s)
  • Citrus Juicer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups papaya ripe and mashed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • Add all of your ingredients into a small pot, and mix them to combine.
  • Cook over medium heat until the ingredients in pot begin to boil. Turn the heat down and allow to simmer at a low, rolling boil for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
