So before I knew it, Mil was already at work making a new batch of pickled papaya. She's just amazing.
The secret of it is to use a peeler to make fine slices of the fruit. The it's the usual sugar, salt in hot water and then add in vinegar and chilly. The fruit should sit for a few hours before it's good to taste. After 24 hours, it'll be even better.

wahhhh secret recipe!! must try!
She boiled the sugar and salt first, then add vinegar. Then put the fruit in (must be hard, young papaya is best so that it's crunchy) and add cilipadi. Sedaaap!
ooohhh....I LOVE THAT too!!! I will definitely try that when I get my bigger fridge in my new house!!! hahaha....
hoe much sugar? how much salt? how much vinegar? how big papaya?

milochel,
No more pickled mangoes these days as the small ones are hard to find. The make the best pickles.
The papaya ones are just as good. Come by for some anytime. :)
u.lee,
I know of only a few men who like pickled fruits.
Yes, quite a good snack for watching TV. Healthier than potato chips and peanuts.
