Fruit simmered in cinnamon syrup is a typical after-dinner treat throughout Mexico. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1 cup sugar |
3 1-pound papayas, halved, seeded, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch wedges |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
6 lime peel strips |
1 cinnamon stick |
sour cream |
additional lime peel strips |
Directions:
1. Bring 2 cups water and sugar to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup thickens slightly, about 6 minutes. Add papaya wedges, fresh lime juice, lime peel strips and cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until papayas are just tender, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer papayas to bowl. Boil syrup until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour syrup over papayas and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
2. Spoon papayas and syrup into 6 dessert dishes. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with additional lime peel.
