En Venezuela conocemos a la papaya con el nombre de lechosa, debido a que cuando se corta del árbol o se hacen algunas incisiones en la piel cuando está verde, brota un líquido lechoso.
Es un postre tradicional que se prepara en Venezuela en la época de Navidad y para las celebraciones de fin de año
Quote In Venezuela we know papaya by the name of milky, because when it is cut from the tree or some incisions are made in the skin when it is green, a milky liquid emerges.
It is a traditional dessert that is prepared in Venezuela at Christmas time and for the end of the year celebrations
Algunas variantes de este postre criollo: dulce de lechosa con piña y dulce de lechosa rallado
Para hacer este dulce, es importante hacerse con una papaya-lechosa bien verde. Aquí les presento la mata de lechoza y su frutos
Quote Some variants of this Creole dessert: dulce de lechosa with pineapple and grated dulce de milchosa
To make this sweet, it is important to get a very green papaya-milky. Here I present the lechoza plant and its fruits
Los ingredientes
2 kilos de lechosa o papaya verde
1 kilo de papelón aproximadamente (melaza de la caña de azúcar)
2 tazas de azúcar, 1 cucharada de bicarbonato
1 y 1/2 cucharadita de clavos de olor y agua
Quote 2 kilos of milky or green papaya
1 kilo of papelón approximately (molasses from sugar cane)
2 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoon cloves and water
Preparación
Se le hace corte para que el fruto bote la leche
Quote It is cut so that the fruit can release the milk
Posteriormente se pela o se le quita la piel al fruto de la lechosa. Se pican por la mitad
Quote Later, the fruit of the papaya is peeled or skinned. They bite in half
Se le sacan las semillas y se deja bien limpias y se tiene el cuidado de que no quede concha. Se pica en tajadas delgadas y se agrega una cucharada de bicarbonato y se deja reposar.
se coloca una taza grande con agua. Se le coloca bicarbonato porque eso ayuda a mantener la textura de la fruta una vez cocida.
Quote The seeds are removed and left very clean and care is taken that there is no shell. It is chopped into thin slices and a tablespoon of bicarbonate is added and left to rest.
a large cup of water is placed. Bicarbonate of soda is added to it because it helps maintain the texture of the fruit once cooked.
Puedes tenderla al sol de la mañana durante unas horas antes de cocinarla
Colocar en la olla el papelón, el azúcar, los clavos y el agua para hacer el almíbar. Dejarlo cocinar en la olla destapada durante 15 minutos.
Pasar la lechosa a otra olla grande y colocar sobre ella el colador de pasta. Poner dentro un liencillo. Pasar a través de él el almíbar y dejarlo caer en la olla que contiene la lechosa. Ahora poner la olla en el fuego y cocínala durante aproximadamente una hora y media. Sabrás que el almíbar está a punto cuando las gotas caigan lentamente de una cuchara de madera, formando un hilito.
Retira la olla del fuego, deja enfriar y mételo en la nevera. Tapa la dulcera con papel de plástico.
Algunas imagenes de como se cocina el papelón para el dulce
Quote You can hang it in the morning sun for a few hours before cooking
Place the paper, sugar, cloves and water in the pot to make the syrup. Let it cook in the pot uncovered for 15 minutes.
Transfer the milky sauce to another large pot and place the pasta strainer over it. Put a cloth inside. Pass the syrup through it and drop it into the pot containing the milky. Now put the pot on the fire and cook it for about an hour and a half. You will know that the syrup is ready when the drops slowly fall from a wooden spoon, forming a thread.
Remove the pot from the heat, let it cool and put it in the fridge. Cover the candy bowl with plastic wrap.
Some images of how the papelón is cooked for the candy
La lechosa debe quedar traslúcida. El dulce se guarda en la nevera en frascos de vidrio o en una dulcera y se puede almacenar por varias semanas. Queda delicioso y si no consiguen papelón pueden sustituirlo por azúcar morena.
El resultado es un sabroso dulce para compartir en familia
Quote The milky must be translucent. The candy is stored in the fridge in glass jars or in a candy box and can be stored for several weeks. It is delicious and if you can't find a piece of paper you can substitute it for brown sugar.
The result is a tasty sweet to share with the family
