Tutti Frutti

Tutti Frutti step by step instructions:

Tutti Frutti is everyone’s favorite and I and my husband are no exceptions ;-)

Last year, one of the cousins came home and got a packet of tutti frutti from the market along with her. I remember, in just two days, my husband finished the entire 250 gms box of tutti frutti. Since that day I had been thinking to make them at home but always something or other happened.
Two days back when I went to the market, I saw raw papaya and tutti frutti came to my mind. I immediately purchased it and the first thing which I did after reaching home was to start with the preparation of tutti frutti.



Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Raw papaya: 1 small (palm size)
Water for blanching the papaya: 3 cups
Red food color: 2 drops
Blue food color: 2 drops
Green food color: 2 drops
Yellow food color: 2 drops
For sugar syrup
Sugar: 2 cups
Water: 2 1/2 cups
Vanilla essence: 3-4 drops

Method:
1. Wash and wipe dry the papaya.


2. Remove the out green skin, seeds, and white part.




3. Chop the papaya into small pieces. It will yield about 2 cups.



4. Boil 3 cups of water and put the chopped papaya pieces into it.
5. Boil the pieces for 2-3 minutes. Switch off the gas and let the pieces remain in hot water for other 4-5 minutes. (This process is called blanching)


6. Drain the water and collect the papaya pieces in a sieve.
7. Meanwhile, boil sugar and water in another pan. When the boil comes add the papaya pieces.



8. Keep the flame on low only and let the papaya cook for approximately 23-25 minutes.
9. Switch off the flame and add vanilla essence. Mix well.


10. Add red, yellow and green color in the bowls. Divide equally, the papaya pieces and syrup, into the 4 bowls. Mix well.



11. Let the bowl rest for around 20 hours.
12. Take out the papaya pieces from syrup and spread on a flat sieve. Keep a plate below the sieve so that the water drains out.



13. Let these dry for a day.


14. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use whenever required like in cakes, ice-cream, cookies etc.
15. Yummy “Tutti Frutti” is ready!


Tips:
1. Make sure you use different spoons for each bowl.
2. By pressing the tutti frutti pieces you can identify whether they have dried up or not. If liquid comes out then they need to be dried more.
3. You can use any colors of your choice.
4. Always use a sieve for drying the tutti frutti.

See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
