Ingredients
1
piece(s) firm ripe papaya
2
piece(s) lemon-flavored gelatin packets, dissolved in 2 cups boiling water
1
cup(s) green grapes cut in half
1
cup(s) melon chopped in cubes
1
cup(s) apple, peeled and chopped in small cubes
pinch sugar to taste
drops of lemon
Directions
- Peel the papaya and cut the tip in such a way that, with the help of a knife or a long cocktail spoon, the seeds can be removed. Avoid damaging the papaya walls, which at this moment are set aside.
- Separately, in a bowl mix the chopped fruits and lemon drops with gelatin, adding sugar to taste.
- Fill the papaya with the gelatin and fruit mixture, wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 24 hours so the gelatin sets.
- The next day remove the papaya from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Can be brought complete to the table and cut into thick portions.
