An explosion of exotic tastes and flavors
Our spicy papaya jam is a typical Cape Verdean recipe. It combines the sweetness of papaya with the aroma of cloves and cinnamon. This jam is much appreciated for its sweet and spicy taste. This makes it a perfect condiment for savoury or sweet dishes.
Papaya adds a natural sweetness to the jam. Cloves add a warm, tangy note. Cinnamon completes the picture with its warm, slightly sweet flavor.
On the palate, spicy papaya jam is both smooth and grainy, thanks to the presence of candied papaya filaments.
Traditionally, this jam is served in Cape Verde with goat cheese. This combination creates a delicious contrast between the sweetness of the jam and the saltiness of the cheese. The addition of spices creates a perfect harmony of palate-warming flavors that are perfect spread on goat cheese.
Spicy papaya jam can also be used as a topping for toast, pancakes or desserts. It can also be spread on fresh or toasted bread, or simply spooned out as a dessert.
You can also use it to sweeten your teas and infusions, incorporate it into recipes for cakes and muffins, or add it to marinades and sauces for a sweet and spicy touch. Its unique, exotic taste will delight your taste buds and add a note of fragrance and exoticism to your dishes.
This jam is an explosion of exotic flavors, distinguished by its originality and delicacy.
