Preparation Steps
1
Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and cut into smaller pieces or slices.
2
Select a clean canning jar and place the papaya pieces inside.
3
In a saucepan, bring the water, white wine vinegar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and chili flakes to a boil.
4
Finely chop the hot pepper and add it to the pickling liquid. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5
Once the pickling liquid has come to a boil, let it cool slightly so it's not too hot when poured over the papaya.
6
Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the papaya, ensuring it is completely submerged.
7
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it will become.
8
Before serving, let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
