MANGO-PAPAYA BROWN BUTTER CINNAMON CREPES WITH HOMEMADE DULCE DE LECHE SYRUP

Steps:

• For the dulce de leche syrup: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Scrape the condensed milk into an 8-inch baking dish and cover the top tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the dish inside a roasting pan and fill the pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake in the oven until the milk turns a deep golden brown, stirring a few times, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Check after 45 minutes and add more water, if needed, to the roasting pan. Remove the dulce from the oven and let cool, covered, about 15 minutes before serving.
• For the crepes: Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color. Remove from the heat, whisk in the cinnamon and let cool slightly.
• Put the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, water and eggs until combined. Add the egg mixture to the flour and whisk until just combined. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of the brown butter and reserve the remaining 2 tablespoons for the crepe pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Mash the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and the vanilla seeds with a mortar and pestle. In a saute pan over medium heat, add the vanilla butter, mangoes and papaya and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whip the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Cover and keep chilled until ready to use.
• Heat an 8-inch or 10-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Brush with some of the remaining brown butter. Add a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl the pan to cover the bottom with a very thin coating. If there is excess batter, pour it back into the bowl. Cook until the crepe bubbles and the bottom is lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip the crepe over and cook for about 20 seconds. Slide the crepe onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Put a line of fruit down the center of each crepe. Spread a little of the warm dulce de leche on top of the fruit and fold or roll the sides of the crepe over. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

PAPAYA POACHED IN CINNAMON-LIME SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water and sugar to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup thickens slightly, about 6 minutes. Add papaya wedges, fresh lime juice, lime peel strips and cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until papayas are just tender, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer papayas to bowl. Boil syrup until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour syrup over papayas and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Spoon papayas and syrup into 6 dessert dishes. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with additional lime peel.

ROASTED PAPAYA WITH BROWN SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Stir together sugar and ginger in a small bowl. Arrange papaya halves, cut sides up, in a 10-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over halves.
• Bake, brushing papaya edges with melted sugar mixture (it will collect in well of fruit) 2 or 3 times, until mixture is bubbling and papaya edges are beginning to darken, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Sprinkle each serving with a pinch of cayenne. Serve with lime wedges.

PAPAYA IN CINNAMON SYRUP

Steps:

• In a heavy 3-quart saucepan spread 2/3 cup of the sugar, add the cinnamon stick, and top the sugar with half the papaya strips. Sprinkle 2/3 cup of the remaining sugar on top, add the remaining papaya strips, and top the strips with the remaining 2/3 cup sugar. Cook the mixture, covered, over moderately low heat, shaking the pan occasionally (do not stir), for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved completely. Simmer the papaya strips, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until they begin to appear translucent. Let the mixture cool and chill it, covered, overnight. The papaya in cinnamon syrup keeps, covered and chilled, for 1 month.
