Guava Jam! [:p]
Tutu's old recipe: (*No need pectin)
Ingredients:
6 cups guavas, peeled, 1/2-inch cubes
4 + 2 cups water
3 cups sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
In a saucepan over medium high heat; combine guavas, 4 cups of water, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; allow to low boil 30 minutes.
Remove from heat; let stand 10-15 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle; remove seeds by pressing through a sieve back into saucepan on medium high heat. Add remaining 2 cups of water and bring back to a boil.
Reduce heat to low; allow to simmer 30 minute; stirring until thickened. Remove from heat; and skim off any foam.
Makes about Three (3) pints
Enjoy!
P.S. If you mix the jam with BBQ sauce or spread it plain over seasoned ribs or chicken, it's delicious!
