1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
3/4 cup honey
1 cup water
Lemon juice to taste
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh guavas at local fruit markets or the produce section of neighborhood grocery stores. Honey is readily available in the pantry staples aisle of supermarkets. If fresh guavas are out of season, ensure you choose ripe, aromatic fruits for the best flavor.
Preparation method
- Place the guava pulp, honey, and water in a large saucepan.
- Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Stir the mixture occasionally and skim off any foam that rises to the top using a spoon.
- Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender.
- Pulse on low speed just enough to process the pulp without crushing 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 tough fibers in the sieve.
- Discard the seeds and pulp remaining in the sieve.
- Finish by stirring the lemon juice into the strained purée.
