1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
3/4 cup honey
1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
Where to find ingredients
Fresh guavas can be found at local farmers' markets or the produce section of well-stocked supermarkets in Barbados. For the best result, choose ripe, fragrant fruit. If fresh guavas are unavailable, high-quality frozen pulp can serve as an effective substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the guava pulp, honey, and water into a large saucepan.
- Set over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir the mixture occasionally and skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a spoon.
- Transfer the cooked fruit mixture into a blender.
- Pulse on a low speed just enough to process the pulp without breaking down the hard seeds.
- Pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve positioned over a mixing bowl.
- Use a wooden spoon to press the mixture through the mesh to extract all the liquid, keeping the seeds and remaining solids in the sieve.
- Discard the seeds and fibrous residue left behind in the sieve.
- Finish by stirring the lemon juice into the strained purée.
