Instructions

1. Combining ingredients

Place the guavaberries, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, sugar, and 1 quart [2 liters] of water into a pot.

2. Cooking

Heat and simmer over low heat until the water has reduced, the berries are very soft and has turned into a jam with some liquid left (about an hour). Cooking time may vary, so keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.Remove the pot from the heat, and let it cool to room temperature.

3. Adding rum and steeping

Mix the jam (with all the spices) and the rum, and let it rest in the refrigerator for a week. Remove the spices and serve chilled. You can leave some of the fruit, or remove them with a sieve.

Notes

The recipe will serve 8 shots.
