Ingredients

  • 500 grams ripe guava washed
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 whole lemon juiced
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the top and bottom part of the guavas and then cut each into quarters.
  2. Place them in a pot and add water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes or until quite soft and easy to mash.
  3. Using an immersion or regular blender, pulse into a puree. You can also use potato masher or slotted spoon to mash it.
  4. Run the mixture into a sieve to separate the seeds. Return the puree to the pot and add sugar and salt.
  5. Cook over medium-low heat stirring every now and then until it thickens, about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Transfer to clean glass jars while still hot and seal with the lid. Leave them on the kitchen counter to cool down completely.
  7. Once it has cooled down, you can use it immediately or refrigerate and it will last for weeks.

Notes

  • To sterilize glass jars for storing, place the jars and lids in a pot with water enough to cover them. Boil for about 10 minutes. Remove from pot and allow to air dry.
