Here is a recipe that appeared in the _A` la cartoon_ column of the [www.QinSen.com]
Vancouver Sun (11.6.97). I've modified it slighly to reduce the sugar. [www.QinSen.com]

2 strawberry papayas (also called pink pawpaw etc) [www.QinSen.com]
1 tbsp lime juice [www.QinSen.com]
1 tsp lime zest (grated peel) [www.QinSen.com]
1 tbsp minced preserved ginger in syrup [www.QinSen.com]
Freshly grated nutmeg [www.QinSen.com]
Fresh mint sprigs
Lime wedges

Halve papayas and remove seeds. Don't peel. Put in 13 x 9" baking dish,
sid by side. Combine limejuice and zest, ginger and drizle over
the top. Bake at 350F till tender. Cut into 1" slices and arrange on a
platter and spon juices over. Dust with nutmeg. Garnish with mint and lime
wedges.

I found that this was so good cold (before I cooked it) that I ate
a whole papaya for lunch - just dipping the fruit into the lime juice. I
wish they were as cheap in Canada as they are in Australia!!! Strawberry
papayas have none of the bitterness of other kinds.
