Ingredients
- 1 cup guava puree seedless, unsweetened pure fruit
- 1 cup evaporated cane sugar organic preferred
- ½ cup water
Instructions
Make syrup
- Place 1 cup guava puree in an extra deep saucepan. Add 1 cup evaporated cane sugar and ½ cup water.
- Heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar melts and the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil. Take care, as the mixture foams and boils over easily.
- Reduce heat and cook at a simmer for 5 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a flat-edged spatula to prevent the syrup from burning.
- Remove syrup from heat and let cool. Pour the mixture into jars or bottles with a funnel.
How to use
- You can mix it into drinks, drizzle it over desserts, use it in marinades or dressings, add it to barbecue sauces or glazes, pour it over waffles and pancakes, in breakfast bowls, or simply enjoy it as a dipping sauce on its own.
Store
- This tasty, exotic treat needs to be refrigerated and lasts 3 months. It will be hard to keep it around that long, though!
Notes
Preparation
Use a deep pot when boiling syrup to accommodate how it foams and rises.
Scrape the bottom of the pot frequently while the syrup cooks to prevent burning.
Let syrup cool for ten to fifteen minutes before transferring it to jars.
Use a funnel for easy transfer.
Store in glass containers. They won't react to the natural acids in your preserve, and you can appreciate its beautiful color.
