Guava Jam

We go to Honiara Central Market and another fruit and vegetable market close by
(funnily enough it is called "Fish Market").  I never get bored with looking around
at what different things I can find to experiment with.  This week my score was
these beautifully scented GUAVAS...

RECIPE FOR GUAVA JAM

900g slightly under-ripe guavas

water

sugar

lemon juice

Wash and cut guavas and put into large pot with enough water

to barely cover. Boil until soft and then rub through a coarse

sieve. Measure the pulp and juice mixture.  For every 3/4 cup of

mixture add 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1 cup of sugar. Put into a

large pot and stir continually to dissolve sugar while bringing to

the boil. Boil until mixture reaches setting stage, approximately

18-20 minutes.

Yield: 5-6 cups




Boil until soft.




Cooling sealed jars of jam.
