Ingredients




2 1/4 pounds guavas
2 cardamom seeds (optional)
Sugar as needed

Preparation

1 Remove the blossom end from the fruits, then slice them into a large pan. If you have cardamom seeds, crush a couple and toss them in, too. Add water just to cover, bring to a boil and continue boiling, gently, for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain the contents of the pan through a fine strainer and then through a jelly bag - don't squeeze the bag, just let the juice drip through. 2 Measure the juice with a cup measure. For each cup of juice you will need just a cup of sugar. 3 Put the juice back in the pan, heat it and let it boil for a few minutes, then add the sugar and boil vigorously until setting point is reached (about 10 to 15 minutes). 4 Put in sterile jars, seal, and process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
