Papaya Pickle (Jeruk Betik)

I plucked the papaya from the garden, its really a lot as I tried to save it from the squirrel.  A friend of mine suggested that I make pickle out of it. I had never make this before and yeah.. why not give it a try. It turns out really nice.. and now I'm sharing it with others. Cheers everyone!
