Note

For best flavor, use ripe but firm papayas. If the papayas are too soft, the relish may become mushy.

Adjust the amount of jalapeno seeds included to control the heat level. Removing all seeds yields a milder relish; leaving some in adds a spicy kick.

This relish is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.

While excellent with grilled fish, this relish also pairs well with roasted chicken, pork chops, or as a topping for avocado toast.
