I had some trouble getting the jam to set. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on pancakes or waffles.

I'm not a huge fan of papaya, but I really enjoyed this jam. The lime and ginger really balance out the flavor.

This papaya jam is a delightful treat! It has a unique and vibrant flavor that is both sweet and tangy. I love the texture, too - it's thick and spreadable, but still has a bit of a bite to it.
