Guyabate (Guava Paste)

December 28, 2021 by admin

My daughter has a guava tree with a huge amount of fruit this year so we made guyabate! It naturally has a lot of pectin so no need to add more.

So much fruit!

Slice the guava.

Scoop out the seeds in the center of the fruit and soak in water. Strain out the liquid and add to the cut up fruit.

Cut up fruit and put in a pan or crock pot with the liquid drained from the seeds. Cook until soft.

Blend fruit and put in pan with equal amounts of purée and sugar. Stir and cook until the liquid thickens and sheets off a spoon. You can also put a drop on a cold plate and see if it will easily lift off. It takes a while to cook down and reach this stage.

Once it’s thickened take it off the heat and beat it for 10 minutes. This reduces crystal formation and makes for a smoother, less grainy paste.

Pour into a pan lined with wax paper and let sit for 24 hours.

Enjoy!

We also tried making some in a crock pot. It turned this lovely color.
