How to Make Pickled Papaya that will last Longer | Atchara na Pangmatagalan

Papaya atchara is the Filipino version of pickled green papaya. This is usually eaten along with fried or grilled foods. I think that chicken inasal is best with some papaya atchara on the side, so does grilled liempo.

Ingredients
* 3 lbs shredded green papaya
* 1 medium carrot thinly sliced
* 1 small red bell pepper julienne
* 3/4 cups raisins
* 1 head garlic sliced
* 4 thumbs ginger julienne
* 2 cups vinegar
* 1 1/3 cups granulated white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Achara is the condiment that I always found on the table when we used to travel back to the Philippines to visit my father’s side of the family. It was like the ketchup or mustard, and it went with just about anything. Grilled fish, barbecued pork, grilled chicken – achara has that sweet and sour flavor that I just love. Try it with a burger or a hot dog, and you’ll soon find that you’ll want to put it on just about everything, too!
