🍬 Irresistible Guava Candy Recipe Kids Can’t Resist! 🍈🍊

Prepare the guava pulp by blending ripe guavas until smooth and straining to remove seeds.

In a saucepan, combine the guava pulp, sugar, lemon juice, and salt over medium heat.

Stir the mixture continuously until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 15-20 minutes.

If using, add chili powder for a spicy kick and mix well.

Once thickened, pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.

Once set, dust a clean surface with cornstarch and turn the guava candy out onto it.

Cut the candy into squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife.

Dust the pieces with more cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Store the guava candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
