How to make it

  • Select 4 lbs of fully ripened paw paws. Remove the pulp and recover 3 lbs. Place into a saucepan with just a little cooking water, bring to a slow boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the juicy pulp and strain through a food mill. Place the juicy pulp into a saucepan, add ¾ cup of cider vinegar, ½ cup of water, 6 cups of granulated sugar and the spices. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow this mixture to burn. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, add 6 ounces of liquid pectin and bring to a full boil for 1 minute. Skim, pour into hot, sterile jars and seal. (Wild Preserves)

    Hi! Can you tell me where this recipe comes from? I'm interested in making a similar recipe, but I'm worried about pawpaws being low-acid and am wondering if the vinegar in this recipe is to take care of that -- mine doesn't have it.

    Boy, you'd almost have to live in the eastern US to know what paw paw is! This sounds great, except I'm a little vinegar-shy... I'm bookmarking this for paw paw season.
