Time 5h5m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 cups mashed ripe papaya
¼ cup orange juice
1 ⅓ (1.75 ounce) packages dry pectin
5 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Stir together papaya, orange juice, and pectin in a very large pot over medium-high heat until it begins to boil. Stir constantly as the mixture heats. Once boiling, stir in the sugar, and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the jam has returned to a boil, start a timer, and boil for exactly 1 minute.
  • Ladle the hot jam into the hot, sterilized canning jars and seal with lids and rings. Allow to cool to room temperature, and refrigerate any jars that do not seal.
