TUTTI FRUTTI RECIPE USING THE RAW PAPAYA

• Now, heat a saucepan with water and sugar. Let it cook for a minute or two until the sugar dissolves. Add the vanilla essence to the syrup.

• Now, transfer it into 3 separate bowls. Make sure to add the syrup as well.
• Add the food colors of your choice and mix well.

Steps:

• Exact quantities cannot be given for the tutti-frutti. Preferably, start at the beginning of the fresh fruit season - if you start later, the variety of fruits will be more limited. Pour 1 bottle of brandy into a large crock or big preserving jar. Add hulled, washed and drained strawberries and their weight in sugar. Cover the crock and let it stand in a cool place. As other fruits come into season, add them in any desired quantity with their weight in sugar. Add more brandy if the fruits are not completely covered. You may add other berries, cherries, seeded grapes, peeled and pitted peaches, peeled and cored pears, pitted and halved plums or apricots. When the crock is full, cover securely. Leave 3 months before using.
