Ingredients

1 medium papaya
1 cup vodka
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup sugar syrup to taste, optional

Directions

Look for medium-sized papaya (slightly larger than a pear) with smooth, unbruised skin, and a fruity aroma.

Best time is May and June.

Dark spots on the skin are a bad sign and will cause a bad flavor (check stem for decay and softness).

Cut papaya in half, remove seeds, and peel skin.

Cut in medium chunks and place in vodka with lemon peel(twist to release flavor).

Let steep for 1 week.

Strain and squeeze fruit, extracting juice. If desired, add sugar syrup.

Store for 3 weeks.

Cream of Squash Soup

Excellent! I used evaporated milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2. It's DELICIOUS! Using squash fresh from the garden!!! Will freeze some for the winter months.

NOTE: I think paste food color works better than liquid food coloring when tinting cookie dough. It's available in specialty markets and some party stores. Be careful: A little goes a long, long way.
