  • 1 or more fresh ripe papayas

  2. Remove the seeds and scrap any strings from the center.
  3. Slice each half of the papaya in slices.
  4. Cut the papaya slices into cubes.
  5. Place the cubed fresh papaya on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until frozen.
  6. Place the frozen cubes of papaya into zip lock bags. Squeeze as much air out and seal.
  7. Or use a FoodSaver Vacuum sealer to seal the papaya in perfectly portioned amounts like I did.

How to Pick a Ripe Papaya?

An unripened papaya's skin will be green where as a a ripe papaya's skin will be yellow and possibly a bit orange depending on the variety of papaya you have purchased or grown. A fresh papaya will yield under the slight pressure of your thumb.

Unripened papaya's will ripen once picked. Set the unripened papaya on the counter. To extend the shelf life of a fresh papaya you can store it in the refrigerator and check it every couple of days. Refrigeration will slow down the ripening process of a fresh papaya.
