Instructions
 

Prepare the Papaya

  • Peel, seed, and remove the inner skin from one medium-sized raw papaya. Cut into 1-inch wide strips, then slice finely.

Boil the Papaya

  • Place the papaya slices in a pot with enough water to cover. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Add more water if needed until the papaya is tender.

Add Sugar and Spices

  • Once the papaya is cooked, add 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1/2 cup of raisins. Stir well to combine.

Simmer and Reduce

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the papaya becomes translucent and the mixture reduces to about half its volume.

Finish and Serve

  • Add the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 cinnamon stick. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the syrup reaches your desired consistency. Allow to cool completely before serving. Add Mustard Seeds (optional) during the last 5 minutes of simmering.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a sweeter pickle, increase the sugar to 2 1/2 cups.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the level of spiciness.
  • Using a heavier-bottomed pot helps prevent burning during the simmering process.
  • Store the pickle in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
