Peel and chop 1 green papaya into small pieces.

In a small saucepan, combine water and honey. Bring to a low boil and once the honey dissolves, add the chopped fruit and mix well.

Cover with a lid and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Add this mixture to an air-tight container along with some beet juice. Once cool, put this in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, put the fruit in a dehydrator until fully dried.

Store this in an air-tight container in the pantry until you’re ready to use it. Just be sure to macerate it by soaking it in liquid (water or juice or rum) before using.
