Bill just handed me two large and very green Papayas. He's leaving for a few days and thought they might break the tree. Also in the past if they start to turn yellow on the tree ... they spoil soon after.

So now I have these two wrapped in newspaper sitting on my kitchen counter hoping this is a better environment for one of my favorite fruits to turn wonderful.

Ideas please !! :idea:

Quote:
If papayas are picked completely green and firm, they will usually not ripen, but can be used in cooking. Choose fruit that is free of black spots and damage to the skin. The spreading yellow color indicates the papaya is softening and shows how far along it is in ripening; fruit with a little yellow near the end takes five to seven days to ripen. Ripe yellow papayas may be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. Refrigeration will also slow the ripening process in fruit intended for cooking.

Green, or unripe, papayas may be cooked like winter squash.


So we will see if thes have to be cooked like squash ... and if any good cooked that way
