            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

Chilean papayas are smaller than those found in other parts of the
world, and I think the diminutive Hawaiian variety we get in the United
States works great in this recipe.

Papayas en Almibar (Papayas in Syrup)

6 ripe papayas
2 cups (500 ml) sugar
Whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Peel the papayas, cut them into wedges, and discard the seeds. Boil
in about 6 cups (1.5 L) water for 5 minutes. Remove the papayas and
add the sugar to the water. Boil until reduced to a thin syrup. Add the
papaya and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Store in sterilized jars for
at least 3 days before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Serves 6.
