Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh guavas in local markets and produce stalls; if unavailable, frozen guava pulp is a common substitute found in the freezer section of larger supermarkets. Honey and fresh lemons are staples available at any local grocer.
Preparation method
- Place the guava pulp, honey, and water in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir the mixture occasionally and skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon.
- Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender.
- Pulse on low speed just enough to process the pulp without breaking up the hard seeds.
- Pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.
- Use a wooden spoon to press the mixture through, extracting all the liquid while keeping the seeds and leftover pulp in the sieve.
- Discard the seeds and fibrous residue remaining in the sieve.
- Finish by stirring the lemon juice into the strained purée.
Observations
