Prep Time

10 min

Cook Time

15 min

Ingredients

1. 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
2. 1/2 - 1 teaspoon chopped green chilies
3. 1/2 cup of fresh tomatoes, chopped (1 - 2 large tomatoes)
4. 3 cups chopped ripe pawpaw

Instructions

1. In a pot, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 a cup of water. Stir and let look for a minute or two before adding the green chilies and chopped tomatoes.
2. Let cook for 2 - 3 minutes, or till the tomatoes 'glaze' and take on some shine.
3. Add chopped pawpaw, stir and let cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring often till pawpaw is 'cooked' and translucent. (I like a mix of pureed and chunky so while in the pot, I mash gently)
4. Leave to cool
5. Once cool, put in containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months
6. Goes well with rice dishes, plantain, salads, vegetables, etc. Enjoy

Notes

1. To use from frozen, let thaw in the fridge for a few hours/ overnight. Use as you desire
