Guava Jam 1 Ingredients: Guavas Sugar Lime juice Cooking Instructions: Peel the guavas thinly; put them on to boil (whole) over a low to medium heat with enough water to cover them and prevent burning. Boil until they are very soft. Take them out of the water and rub them through a sieve until only the seeds are left. To each cup of pulp allow 3/4 cup of sugar. Put the fruit and sugar into a clean sauce-pan and boil to the consistency of jam. Bottle in sterilized jars. |

Guava Jam 2 Ingredients: Ripe guavas Lemon juice (1 cup or more) Brown Sugar Water (enough to cover fruit) Jam jars (sterilized) Cooking Instructions: Peel the outer yellow skin off the guavas, cut guavas into quarters and scrape out the insides (seeds). When making guava jam the outer yellow skins and the seeds are not used. Wash the quartered guavas and put them in a large heavy saucepan. Pour just enough water into the saucepan to cover guavas and boil briskly until the fruit is all pulpy or soft. Remove from stove. Measure out this fruit mixture, and for every cup of fruit you will need a cup of brown sugar. If you have four cups of fruit you must use four cups of brown sugar. Put the fruit, lemon juice and sugar into a big heavy saucepan and keep boiling briskly, stirring every now and then until a little dropped onto a wet saucer begins to jel or thicken. Appearances can be deceptive, the jam mixture may look and seem to be runny, while it is boiling away merrily on the stove, but do not be fooled by this. If it is over-cooked it will become hard and almost like toffee when it has cooled down. Remove from stove and while still hot fill all the jars. Make sure they have good tight lids. This jam can keep for months. |
