¾ cup honey
1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
¾ cup honey
1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
Where to find ingredients
Fresh guavas can be sourced from local markets or specialty produce aisles. If fresh fruit is unavailable, high-quality frozen pulp is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the guava pulp, honey, and water into a large saucepan.
- Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and allow to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir the mixture occasionally and skim off any foam that forms on the surface using a spoon.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender.
- Pulse on low speed just enough to break down the pulp without crushing the hard seeds.
- Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve positioned over a bowl.
- Use a wooden spoon to press the mixture through, extracting all the liquid while retaining the seeds and excess fiber in the sieve.
- Discard the remaining seeds and pulp trapped in the sieve.
- Finish by stirring the lemon juice into the strained puree.
Observations
A simple recipe that transforms the fresh fruit pulp into a smooth, refined puree. It serves as an excellent, versatile accompaniment for various desserts or refined sweet dishes.
