PAWPAW PUDDING
When it comes to pawpaw, accept no substitutes. Trust us; we tried. We went to a bunch of experts - scholars who specialize in fruit, plus chefs and cookbook authors who know all about the proud culinary history of Appalachia - and we asked them, "If a home cook doesn't happen to have any pawpaw, what combination of other fruits and vegetables might work well as a replacement?" We picked up passing nods to sweet potatoes, bananas, papayas, avocados, really ripe mangoes. But in the end everyone came back with variations on "Forget it, there's nothing like a pawpaw." The goopy-textured, tropical-ish fruit whose name sounds like a punch line on "Hee Haw" can be found scattered all over the country, but recipes (for cakes, pies, puddings) abound largely in West Virginia and nearby states like Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. If you happen to secure some pawpaw, best to get out of its way, as is the case with this pudding. Pawpaw is a holiday guest who responds well to minimal interference.

Steps:
- Stir together papaya, orange juice, and pectin in a very large pot over medium-high heat until it begins to boil. Stir constantly as the mixture heats. Once boiling, stir in the sugar, and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the jam has returned to a boil, start a timer, and boil for exactly 1 minute.
- Ladle the hot jam into the hot, sterilized canning jars and seal with lids and rings. Allow to cool to room temperature, and refrigerate any jars that do not seal.
