Go to the farmers market to buy fresh guavas.

Peel and core the guavas, removing the seeds and cutting them into chunks.

In a pot, melt a pat of butter and add the guava pieces, allowing them to simmer uncovered.

Add sugar to the guava based on its tartness and let it reduce.

Once the guava filling is done, remove it from the heat and let it cool.

In a bowl, combine one egg, sugar, and butter, whisking until light and fluffy.

Add milk to the mixture instead of cream for a lighter consistency.

Add a little water to form the dough, kneading it gently until firm enough to roll out.

Roll out the dough and place the cooled guava filling inside, rolling it up to enclose the filling.

Wrap the duff in baking paper or parchment paper, tying it securely.

Place the wrapped duff in a slow cooker with water to steam on high.
