Tropical Ice – Conjuring up a Taste Memory
The other day, I was idly looking at papayas sitting in the fruit bowl on the kitchen counter when they triggered a taste memory: the intense flavor of papaya transformed into something smooth, creamy and icy.
Funny thing is, I could remember the taste and texture, but it took me awhile to conjure up the recipe in my head. It niggled at me until I let the memory play out...the kids were little, we lived in a condo on Cathedral Hill in San Francisco and I used to make this ice for company all the time.
