Tutti-Frutti

     Tutti-Frutti"  All time favorite topping for Ice-creams, Desserts , making cakes, cookies, Tutti-frutti-biscuits, Fruit-cream etc.... I always bought tutti-frutti from market, but last week my one of friend she gave me raw papaya from her farm, then I thought to make papaya chutney first and suddenly I realized I am out from tutti-frutti, so I decided to make my own first batch of tutti-frutti at home.

Lets start with simple and few ingredients to make these little "Tutti-Frutti"

Raw Papaya (cubed)   2cups

Sugar                          2 cups

Water                         6 cups

Food colors        

Rose essence            few drops

Shall we move to next step..

Wash and peel the skin of raw papaya.

With the help of sharp knife cut into small cubes,(don't forget to remove the seeds)

boil 4 cups of water in a deep pan,

Once its starts boiling add pieces of raw papaya.

cover it and let it boil for 5 minutes at high flame.

After 5 minutes switch off the stove and let it sits for 5-8 minutes, and drain all the water through food strainer.

 On other side will boil 2 cups of water with 2 cups of sugar, will boil until we get one thread consistency, (dip the wooden spoon in the sugar syrup and lift it out, allow to cool for a few seconds, now touch the syrup with a clean forefinger and then touch your thumb and pull apart gently, if you see a single thread is formed with break then your are done) this process take appox. 10-12 minutes.

   Now its time to color, divide the syrup into 3 equal parts and add few drops of  rose essence and your favorite colors and mix well

Now add the papaya pieces in color syrup and leave it for 15-20hrs, so they get sweetness and color properly.

After 15-20hrs strain the papaya completely from the syrup, 

and spread these pieces on wire net and place a plate under the net (extra syrup will drained it out). 

dry them on sunlight till they are not sticky when you touch them.

 Once they completely dry you will your own homemade, "Tutti-Frutti"

Note:- Don't over boil papaya !otherwise they get mushy.
