Paw Paws?
« on: September 22, 2014, 07:43:23 am »
Anyone have any good recipes for paw paws?  I have an abundance of them and don't think I can eat them all!  I have found over a bushel.  Some of the biggest ones I have ever seen too.  They really produced this year.

I have 2 pawpaw patches I planted a few years ago. They bloom every year but I haven't seen any fruit. I have no recipes.

Keep them cool and dry. Frig helps after they brown.
All I know--- is peel, bite and spit out the pits. Yummm!

I think that is what we are going to try this week.  Should be delicious!  I'll let you know how it turns out. ;)

you can blend it with bananas and dry it out to make some fruit leather, I make pudding out of it then freeze it. So good! I bet you could do some jam type thing if you add some pectin and sugar.

I liked this quote from Wikipedia

"Ohio botanist William B. Werthner noted that

The fruit ... has a tangy wild-wood flavor peculiarly its own. It is sweet, yet rather cloying to the taste and a wee bit puckery – only a boy can eat more than one at a time.[4]"
