Homemade Papaya, Mango or Melon (Meilach) Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

From Homemade Liqueurs by Dona and Mel Meilach:

• Papaya cut into pieces, enough to make 1 cup
• 1/4 lemon or lime peel, sliced and scraped
• 1 cup vodka
• 1/3 cup sugar syrup

Cut the papaya or melon up into 1/2" pieces, after peeling and removing the pit or seeds. Steep mango and lemon/lime peel in vodka 1 week, strain and squeeze very hard. Add syrup. Age 3 weeks.
