• 1 1/4 C. Papaya, seeded, peeled, coarsely chopped
• 4 Tbs. Sugar
• 2 Tbs. Lime juice
• 2 3/4 C. Water

In a blender, smoothly puree measured fruit pulp and juice (a portion at a time, if needed) with sugar and lime juice. Add flavored fruit mixture to water, then rub through a fine strainer into a large jar or pitcher; discard pulp. If made ahead, cover and chill up to one week. As a decorative touch, add slices or chunks of matching fruit just before serving. Pour the agua fresca over ice cubes into tall glasses.
