I had 4-5 medium papayas at home that have gone very ripe. I love fresh papayas in the morning, they make a wonderful breakfast. But there were too many of them to eat up. Mum suggested we make some papaya jam and this is what I did on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always find store bought jams too sweet. So, I’ve put much less sugar in this one and besides, the papaya was naturally sweet enough. The only thing is that it might not preserve for as long as store bought jams. But then less sugar means I can eat more of it! So, it won\u2019t even have the time to go off anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It tasted very homemade on sliced bread. I had a big spoonful with porridge this morning. And SisterLovlie is having this as a warm dessert (lightly reheated) tonight! This papaya jam is a great topping with homemade yogurt<\/a> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
