Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. firm papaya
- 2 lbs. sugar
- lemons
Directions
Cut the papaya into fine strips, then peel and wash well.
Place the papaya and sugar on on a slow fire until the sugar dissolves.
Cook for ten minutes, then set aside for a half hour.
After a half an hour reheat at a higher flame, until the mixture becomes sugar-like or crystalized.
Shortly afterwards remove from heat, and, using a spoon and fork, mold into different shapes.
