- 4 cups ripe papaya, peeled and diced
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- Combine papaya, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large pot.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 30-40 minutes).
- Test the jam by placing a small amount on a cold plate—if it gels, it’s ready.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Pour into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Notes
- Use fully ripe papaya for the best flavor.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- For longer storage, process jars in a water bath for 10 minutes.
