Equipment

Medium saucepan
Blender or food processor
Fine-mesh strainer
Glass jar for storage

Ingredients

4 cups ripe guavas peeled and chopped
0.75 cup sugar adjust based on sweetness of guavas
0.5 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
0.5 tsp cinnamon optional, for extra warmth

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped guavas, sugar, and water over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the guavas soften and break down.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.
Return the strained mixture to the saucepan, add lemon juice and cinnamon (if using), and cook over low heat for another 10-15 minutes until thickened to a buttery consistency.
Let cool completely before transferring to a clean glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Customization: Add vanilla extract or ginger for additional flavor.
Serving Tip: Spread on toast, pancakes, or mix into yogurt for a fruity twist.
Storage: Can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
