Papaya Marmalade

Leftover papaya is the perfect excuse to make this delicious marmalade that will bring back memories from your beach vacation in Mexico.


This papaya marmalade recipe is refreshing and uses chile and lemon for a subtle, tangy kick. 


When stored correctly, it can remain in the fridge for up to one month, which means you’ll be enjoying papaya marmalade all summer long! 


We recommend pairing it with fresh yogurt, cheese, bread, and/or crepes. You can even get creative and use it as a glaze for meat dishes, or even as an ingredient in cakes and brownies.
