HOMEMADE TUTTI FRUTTI RECIPE/CANDIED PAPAYA RECIPE

Hi, today I'm going to share another interesting recipe, that is homemade tutti frutti recipe. I never know  that we can make tutti frutti at home!!!! But when I saw this recipe in YouTube I was really surprised!!!! We can easily make tutti frutti at home!!!!! Then I immediately asked my cousin to bring a raw papaya from market, but my bad luck it was little ripe. But I tried with that papaya, result was good,but tutti frutti turned softer. No worries, I used that whole batch of tutti frutti in my dil pasand recipe.  Recently my sis in law bought raw papaya, I was so happy and again made tutti frutti for my blog.

       Tutti frutti is also called candied papaya made with raw papaya. It is used in many baking goodies such as muffins, dil pasand, cakes etc., since this is month of Christmas,  this is main ingredient in many Christmas cakes. I'm also going to share more Christmas recipes by using this tutti frutti. Making tutti frutti at home is so simple. But process is long. Result will be awesome. They tastes same as storebought ones.

I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
