    Marshallese baked papaya with coconut cream was a sweet delight.  I had never baked papaya before and it was absolutely delicious.  This is another very simple recipe from the Marshall Islands that uses readily available ingredients.  I was reluctant about the amount of time which is about an hour to bake the papaya but it is the correct amount of time.  It uses a bit of sugar to add the sweetness making a caramelized sauce as it bakes.  A wonderful dessert for that Island flair.  It also makes your kitchen smell amazing at it bakes.  Enjoy!
