Fermented fruit purees of all kinds are a staple in our home.
I usually keep two or three seasonal favorites in my fridge at all times, and I use them as a probiotic seasoning for pancakes, sprouted waffles, overnight oatmeal, or just spoon them on in the afternoon 😉
Probiotic-enhanced papaya puree is one of my favorite recipes from May to September, when the sweet, fleshy fruit is in season.
If you don't live in a tropical climate or it's the off-season, enjoy it all year round by using dried papaya without added sugar or preservatives or by drying it yourself fresh papaya!
Here are some other probiotic purees our family enjoys:

guideline
Place the dried papaya stems in a large pot and cover with only the filtered water.
Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until tender (about 20 minutes).
Place the pot on the counter and let cool for about 30 minutes. Let cool until warm, but not too hot.
Place in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Place the papaya puree mixture into a half-gallon glass mason jar and secure the lid tightly.
After leaving it for 2 days, store it in the refrigerator.
Once fermented, probiotic papaya butter can be stored in the refrigerator for several months.
