Ingredients

1/2 cup minced red onion

3 cups boiling water

3 or 4 medium oranges

1 ripe papaya (1 pound)

Dash of salt

1 teaspoon minced chipotle chiles

1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoon light-colored honey

Directions

  1. Place the onion in a strainer over a bowl in the sink. Pour in the boiling water, and let it drain for at least 5 minutes.

  2. Peel the oranges, then section them over a medium-sized bowl, to save all the juices.

  3. Cut the papaya in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. (You can reserve them and use them as a garnish.) Dice the pulp, and add it to the oranges au jus. Add the remaining ingredients (including the onions), and mix until thoroughly combined.

  4. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve cold, topped with the reserved papaya seeds, if desired.

  5. Note: Use chipotle chiles out of a can. Wash your hands and cutting surface after preparing them.
