Jujups – the jelly like candy made using papaya
Yield: 30 nos
-
Grated pappaya - 2 cups
-
Sugar - 1 ½ cups
-
Essence (your choice) - 1 tspn (I used orange)
elect a ripe and firm papaya. Else when you grate, it will turn mushy.
Soak the grated papaya in water with 2 tspn salt added to it. Leave this for half an hour
Wash and drain the papaya
Take a kadai or a heavy bottom vessel.
Add ¾ cup water and papaya. Cover and cook the papaya till the whole water is evaporated. It took 15 minutes for me.
dd sugar to it. Keep stirring. When the sugar melts and the papaya turns into a sticky mass, add essence and lime juice. This step took 10 minutes
Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from fire.
Grease a plate with ghee and transfer the cooked mixture to it.
When it is warm and you can hold in your hand, take a spoon
full and shape it. Dip your fingers in water and start rolling. It will be easier to shape them.
Later roll on sugar and keep it aside.
