Guava Jelly

Cultural Context

Guava jelly has its roots in tropical regions, particularly in India, where guavas are abundant. Traditionally, it has been made during the fruit's peak season and served as a sweet spread or condiment. This jelly not only preserves the fruit's flavor but also evokes memories of family gatherings and homemade treats. Today, guava jelly is enjoyed in various forms across the globe, often used in desserts or as a topping for breads and pastries.

1

Chop 2 large ripe guavas roughly, removing the black and bottom parts.

2

Add 500 grams of water to a pot and bring to a boil.

3

Once boiling, add the chopped guavas and boil for 5 to 10 minutes until soft.

4

Mash the guavas to extract the pulp.

5

Let the mixture cool slightly, then strain through a cotton cloth to extract the juice, avoiding the use of a strainer to keep the pulp.

6

Return the juice to the pot and add slightly more than 250 grams of sugar.

7

Bring the mixture to a boil and add the juice of half a lemon and green food color.

8

Remove any white foam that forms on top to ensure the jelly is transparent.

9

Cook until a thick layer forms on top, indicating the jelly is ready.

10

Test the jelly by dropping a small amount on a plate; if it does not run, it is ready.

11

Transfer the jelly to a clean glass jar and let it cool before sealing.
