30 minTutti frutti is candied papaya usually used in fruit cakes, cookies, toppings on some deserts or its even yummy to eat as is.
One day my husband asked me the process of making tutti frutti, then I started wondering why this question did not come to my mind, I always enjoyed it eating but never even thought what its made of. Then there comes the help of internet, googled and got to know how easily it can be made with just 2 main ingredients, raw papaya and sugar. Next grocery store visit we made sure we bought the papaya and made these colorful tutti fruttis.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups/ 200 gms Raw Papaya
- 2 Cups Sugar
- 1/2 Tsp Vanilla Essence
- Food Colors (I used Red, Yellow and Green)
- Water as needed
Method :
- Peel the papaya, also remove the seeds and soft white inner layer. Cut it into small uniform cubes.
- Boil 4 cups of water. Add chopped papaya pieces to the boiling water and cook for 3mins. Switch off the flame and let the papaya pieces rest in the same water for 5 more mins with the lid closed. After 5mins strain the papaya pieces and keep it aside.
- Meanwhile, take 2cups of each sugar and water in another pan. Boil till the sugar dissolves completely, then add blanched papaya pieces and continue boiling it until you get one string consistency(it may take around 15 to 20mins). Add vanilla essence, stir well and switch off the flame.
- Take 3 to 4 bowls (depending on how many colors of tutti frutti you want to make), divide papaya and sugar syrup mixture into equal portions. Add each food color to different bowls, give it a stir and let it rest for 12-24hrs.
- Next day or after 12hrs strain the papaya pieces and spread it on a wire rack, dry it until there is no stickiness left (it may take around 24hrs).
- When its completely dry, transfer it to a air tight container and refrigerate it.

Hi Sucheta. For best results use complete raw papaya.
Wow ..tht luks yummy…
Bt just a little curious..the store bought ones hv a bit of tanginess…how do we get tht Shweta…
Store bought tangy tutti frutti might be made of orange peel.
In my recipe you can try adding little bit of lemon juice in sugar syrup while boiling to make it tangy.
Wow
