Cameroon Style Papaya Jam Food

GINGER BEER(CAMEROON)

Steps:

• Slice the pineapple (do not peel) and pound in a large mortar with the ginger(I use the food processor). Place in a large pot then pour over the boiling water. Set the mixture aside to cool.
• Once the mixture has cooled to lukewarm, cover with a clean cloth and set aside to activate over night. The following day, strain the mixture, stir in the molasses until dissolved then turn into a pitcher or a bottle, chill in the refrigerator and serve.
• You can sweeten further with sugar, if desired and add more ginger, to taste. If the ginger beer is too strong then it can be diluted with either plain or sparkling water before serving.
