A guava tastes like a flavorful combination of pineapple, banana, and crab apple.
Turns yellow when ripe.
To use, cut in half and scoop out with a spoon. Pulp and seeds are edible, but don't eat the skin!
Guava can serve as a substitute for strawberries or kiwi in recipes.
Ingredients (yields 12 ounces)
3 cups guavas, peeled and chopped
3 cups water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¾ cup sugar
2 limes, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Place all of the Ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve to separate the seeds. Using a large spoon, press down on the solids to release the juices.
Return the seedless mixture to the saucepan and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 40 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into jars and refrigerate until use. The jelly will thicken as it cools.
