Mama's Pickled Papaya

Mama's Pickled Papaya:

Ingredients:

Green Papaya
Red Donne Pepper
Heinz White Vinegar
Morton's Salt
Tabasco
Ajino-moto Betchin (MSG)



Directions:

Peel, de-seed and chop up the papaya in fine strips. Its important you make the strips thin so it can absorb the pickling base easily.


When the papaya is all sliced, put it in a strainer and wash it with salt. then let it sit while you prepare the pickling base.



To make the base.. you will need to mix the ingredients together. For 1 jar, the ratio is two big spoons of Tabasco MSG and salt. what you can do is mix it all together in some vinegar and boil it until it dissolves. then mix it all together.





Don't forget to add chopped peppers and two whole peppers. Make sure you poke holes in the whole pepper so the spiciness can be evenly distributed while pickling. Mix base and papaya in jar, and fill to the top with white vinegar.



It should be good after 1 week. the longer it pickles the better it will taste over time.
