Directions
Papaya Balls, This recipe comes from a friend of mine from Trinidad She serves these candies every Christmas , Chewy tropical candy (Note that the nutrition information isn’t really correct, because the recipe amount of sugar is only for one cup of papaya, not a whole fruit ) I got about six cups of squeezed grated pulp from a large papaya, so used 4 1/2 cups of sugar used about two tablespoons of lime juice I heated the syrup mixture to soft ball, which is a good bit past where it starts to gel The candy was a little sticky but malleable after cooling slightly I just made the balls and let them finish cooling overnight, without rolling in more sugar
