Papaya Applesauce

:) I'm not really into cooking, but I do it to be able to maintain. This recipe was one of those accidental things that turn out delicious, so I wanted to share.

Papaya applesauce:

4 apples of your choice, peeled, cored and sliced. (I used 2 Pink Lady and 2 MacIntosh)

1/2 a ripe papaya, peeled, seeds removed, chopped (There are U-Tube videos on how to prep a papaya if that's a new fruit to you)

1 cinnamon stick

Juice of 1/2 - 1 lime (Depending on the tart/sweet combination of your apples and papaya, my papaya wasn't very sweet so I used the juice of 1/2 a lime.

1 T. Apple cider vinegar (I like the organic raw, unfiltered version).

1/8 - 1/4 cup of water, depending on the juiciness of your papaya

Place all ingredients in a small crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. Mash with a potato masher if necessary after slow cooking. I didn't have to do that step. If you don't have a crock pot, just cook it in a SS pan stove stop over low heat after bringing the ingredients to a boil until the fruit gets mushy. Remove the cinnamon stick.

Good warm or cold. I really like this and it's really good, as well as being good for your digestive system, high in antioxidants and some vitamins. I have a hard time in the morning with eating breakfast, maybe a lupus thing vs. celiac thing, but I always find this applesauce appetizing.

I was impressed when I googled the health benefits of papaya. My DP usually isn't thrilled with my fruit desserts or applesauce, but he's all over this one.

That sounds so yummy! I was going to make a rare Friday trip to the store tomorrow so I think I'll pick up some apples and papaya, I can't wait to try it. I'll bet it's just as good with mango which I have a torrid love affair with.

That does sound good. I like applesauce. No one else in my house does, though. Oh well, more for me.

I must confess I have not made applesauce with papaya but with many other things including vanilla beans, rosemary, thyme, etc. I always roast my apples in the oven to caramelize first which makes the flavour even that much more wonderful.

I have a torrid love affair with mangos too! I hope you love it!

It's hard to find a ripe papaya when you want to make something! I've parked my car in the sun with a papaya in a bag with a ripe banana or apple for a day or two to speed the process up.)

In the old days, I used to stick my yeast rolls in the back seat of my car in the sun to make them raise faster. It worked! I guess I'm an impatient cook. :D

Hi love,

Do you peel the apples first or roast them whole? I'm thinking, but I don't know since I'm not an experieced cook that if you roasted slices they'd dry out. How long do you roast your apples for and at what temperature and whole, halved quartered or sliced?

I guess if you roast them whole you get a break to let them cool. I like recipes where you don't have to do anything else for awhile lol.

I know how to pick out a ripe mango, and I found some easily at the store. It wasn't until I got there I realized I have no clue how to pick a ripe papaya so I just passed on that. I've got my witch's brew brewing in the kitchen and it smells heavenly.

Let us know how it comes out!

You didn't ask, but the papaya should be yellow or orange in color on the outside (vs green, like you see in the market) and sort of soft. They ripen like a banana.

I've got frozen mango, so please do report on the mango witches brew, lol.

I made another batch tonight!

I looked for a papaya today and all they had were mangoes. I'll keep looking.

Very tart, I added a wee bit of organic sugar and it's just perfect. I also picked up a bunch of blackberries extremely cheap so those will go in tomorrow with more apples. I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the tips on the papayas, maybe I'll pick one up sometime.

I'm glad it came out good, thanks's for letting me know. It's funny, you reminded me that I never have liked sweetened fruit. Even when I was a child my mother would make strawberries and peaches separately for me from the bowl served to the rest of the family. I always wanted mine plain, without sugar. The pink lady apples are pretty sweet on their own, and so is the papaya. That sauce is some good stuff for you. (Works as a facial, too, lol.)

I think you'll like it, prickly. Our local Wal-Mart carries Papayas now, have you checked there? I'm picking mine off a tree I stuck in the ground about a year ago. I planted it too close to the house, like I always do. I figure I hit return on investment: the sappling cost $25 and I've consumed 5 papayas, gifted 3, and have a crop of them getting ripe on the tree now.

The stuff you grow yourself always tastes best in mho. The papaya will be good for your DH I think, from what I've read.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
