Cooking Notes
Loved the flavours in this! Be sure your papaya is ripe… ours was a bit underripe and the sweetness didn’t come through as well as it would have. The mixture of lime, ginger, honey and mint is so balanced and refreshing.
Nice but feels more like a dessert
Martha please, how many cups of papaya did you use? Their size varies quite a bit? Thank you very much. GO
Used ginger preserves instead of crystallized ginger. Tasted great
Substituted maple syrup for honey and was still outrageously good
This dish is great. You don’t need the crystallized ginger at all. The mint makes it.
I used a medium sized melon baller to scoop out papaya instead of dicing in chunks. This is a great recipe for a weekend brunch crowd.
