Wash the guava pieces in filtered water.

Cut the cherries without washing them.

Add a little more water to the mixture as needed.

Cook the guava and cherries until they start to break down and release juice.

Add sugar to the mixture, ensuring there is enough to turn it into jam.

Strain the mixture using a fine strainer to remove seeds and pulp.

Put the strained mixture back in the pot and cook on brown mode to thicken the jam faster.

Add a spice stick for flavor if desired, but avoid adding any essence or vanilla extract.

Let the jam cool down to check for the right consistency.
