Pawpaw butter

[archeryrob]

I wanted to make this stuff but spent to much time on hunting and other things and forgot about gathering them. Its like sweet and tangy once you add the lemon juice. This is going to be on my list every year now.

But you don't need to use the claw, when you pick a pear of the big pawpaw.

Have I given you a clue?

I had to google pawpaw trees. Seems they only grow in Eastern US and Canada. That would probably explain why I had no idea what a pawpaw was.
But it looks and sounds good. Oh well........

Lots of those trees on the property I hunt. Good stuff if they are ripe. Nice and creamy! Never made a butter with them!

No, I missed that as it blew over my head and messed up the last last bit of hair I have.
The longer story is written here.

Sorry for ya'lls luck not having any around. You also wouldn't probably notice these if you didn't hike through them or where not a hunter. They only grow in the under story of the woods I have seen. I can't smell very good and pawpaws over ripened falling to the ground are one of the most fragrant things I think I have smelled.

These things are amazing taste wise and a huge PITA to try an eat without knowing how too. Cut it open like and avocado, scoop the half out with a spoon from the skin. Eat around the large kidney bean like seeds.

Next up is Rhubarb jam, but I got plenty of supplies growing right behind the garage.
