Preparation Steps
1
Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and cut into smaller pieces or slices.
2
Choose a clean canning jar and place the papaya pieces inside.
3
In a saucepan, bring to a boil the water, white wine vinegar, honey, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and chili flakes.
4
Once the pickling liquid has come to a boil, let it cool slightly so it's not too hot when poured over the papaya.
5
Pour the cooled brine over the papaya, making sure it's completely submerged.
6
Seal the jar and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, but the longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become.
7
Before serving, let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
