Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, ground clove, cinnamon, lemon zest, pink salt, citric acid, and potassium sorbate until well blended. 2. Toss the thin papaya slices gently in the honey-spice mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. 3. Arrange the papaya slices in a single layer on a dehydrator tray lined with non-stick sheets. 4. Dehydrate at 55°C (131°F) for 10-12 hours or until the slices are chewy but not brittle. 5. Once dehydrated, allow the papaya slices to cool completely before packaging in an airtight container. 6. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain shelf stability.
