Orange October in Florida

The orange, pumpkin colored soft flesh of a papaya with limes.

Although diets disappear when pumpkin pie appears, this Orange color October treat is delicious, healthy, and puts you back on track.

Although, I have had papaya trees in my yard, it’s available in grocery stores all over the US now. Pick them when they are yellow on the outside without bruises. If they are rock hard, just put them in a paper or plastic bag overnight. As long as they can be easily sliced, they should be ready for feasting.

Serve with a minimum of two whole limes. The combination of papaya and limes is like peanut butter and jelly. It’s classic for a reason; it’s more delicious together. Also, it’s less work than than making a sandwich!
