Question

What if I remove sweet lemon and add carrots?

Community Answer

Your jam will not set very well. The lemon makes it set. You could consider carrots being added with lemon and papaya.
Question

When do I have to add sweet lemon to papaya jam?

Community Answer

Near the end. Or you don't have to add it at all. I made one batch with and one without and both were fine.

Warnings

Do not put anything into the frying pot. (e.g. Don't put cooking oil or water whilst the pot is being heated).

Pay attention to the colour of the papaya. Do not stop stirring it until it has turned brown.
