Cape Verdian Papaya Candy

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs. firm papaya

2 lbs. sugar

Lemons

Cooking Instructions:

Cut the papaya into fine strips, then peel and wash well. Place the papaya and sugar on on a slow fire until the sugar dissolves. Cook for ten minutes, then set aside for a half hour. After a half an hour reheat at a higher flame, until the mixture becomes sugar-like or crystalized. Shortly afterwards remove from heat, and, using a spoon and fork, mold into different shapes.
