Ingredients
- 3 to 4 lbs. green papaya julienne
- 2 pieces carrots julienne
- 1 piece onion thinly sliced lengthwise
- 10 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp whole peppercorn
- 1 piece red bell pepper cut into strips
- 1 knob ginger cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup salt to dehydrate papaya
- 1 1/2 tsp salt for the brine or syrup
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Place the julienned papaya in a large bowl and combine 1/4 cup salt then mix until the salt is well distributed.
- Cover the bowl and place inside the refrigerator overnight (the salt will dehydrate the papaya).
- Place the julienned papaya in a colander or strainer then rinse with running water.
- Using cheesecloth (or any cloth) as a container, put the rinsed papaya inside the cloth and squeeze until all the liquid comes out.
- Put the papaya back in the large bowl and combine with carrots, garlic, ginger, onions, whole peppercorn, bell pepper, and raisins
- Heat the saucepan and pour-in the vinegar and bring to a boil.
- Add the sugar and 1 1/2 tsp salt then stir until well diluted
- Turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool down until temperature is low enough to handle.
- Place the combined vegetables and spices in a sterilized airtight jar and pour-in the syrup
- Seal the jar and place inside the refrigerator for a week (or 5 days minimum to achieve the expected texture and flavor).
- Serve cold with fried dishes. Share and Enjoy!
