  • In this video, Adam shows what areas, where pawpaws grow, look like, how to harvest them, and how to cook them and can them as pawpaw butter!
    Pawpaws grow in areas where there is often water drainage, sandy or soft soil, and along streams/rivers. Pawpaws flower in the late spring/early summer and are ripe in late summer/early fall typically. Pawpaws can also be made into breads and ice cream.

    Very interesting
    I understand the shelf life of a PawPaw is measured in hours so that is why you can’t find them in stores

    Thank you for posting this video.
    I just recently bought 9 acres of VERY rural property and discovered Paw Paw trees on it.
    I plan to make ice cream and also use this recipe to make Paw Paw butter. :)

    Love these things! This will be my first year getting them in the wild. I spotted a massive patch by the river. It's basically the whole forest edge. What time of year is it there? I'm watching for them to ripen here.

    • @8Scorpions
      @8Scorpions 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They usually ripen in mid September. You will just need to keep checking. Once you see them on the ground then you can shake the tree a little and the ripe ones shld fall off. Enjoy👍

    Did these keep the pawpaw flavor? I recently made pawpaw bread by using a banana bread recipe and substituting bananas with pawpaw pulp, and it had 0 pawpaw flavor. I've heard somewhere that they lose their flavor when cooked.

    • @TheWildernessPerspective
      @TheWildernessPerspective  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes these kept a pawpaw flavor for at least a year. I haven't tried any older than that. It is sweeter than regular pawpaw's with the sugar and vanilla added.

  • @timothyharris1125

    Is the recipe suppose to make the mixture thin like that or does it thicken up over time in the jar?

    • @TheWildernessPerspective
      @TheWildernessPerspective  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It will thicken with cooking. As it cools, the sugars will become less fluid as well and thicken. Use your own judgement with how much water you add as well for desired thickness. Just remember to stir pretty consistently to avoid scorching in the bottom of the pan.

    Never heard of paw paw butter. Is it able to store anywhere? Refrigerator? Freezer? In Apple butter family?

    • @TheWildernessPerspective
      @TheWildernessPerspective  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have stored mine in the refrigerator and in the pantry unopened for about a year each. I'm not sure how much longer they would last on the shelf. Maybe another year or two. Maybe not.
      Pawpaw butter is in the same family as apple butter as much as pear butter or peach butter would be I suppose. As far as the pawpaw fruit is concerned, it is more closely related to custard-apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, ylang-ylang, and soursop than apples.

    • @TheWildernessPerspective
      @TheWildernessPerspective  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't know for sure, sorry. My concern would be the possible lack of acidity to fight off botulism. That's why the lemon juice is in the recipe likely. You have to do the same thing for floral jellies like dandelion and violet.

      You're not supposed to eat a whole jar in 1 sitting. This is how you make jellies/jams. You use it to spread on toast or in desserts (which aren't healthy). This is a snack, not a whole meal. 😂
