I live in London and where there is a culture of commercializing everything like adding pectin to jam (their great grandmothers for sure haven’t heard of pectin and mind you it was the English puritans that brought jam making to North America). Your recipe is very simple and I am going to try it today. I have bought 4 average size guavas at the local store and they cost me £0.56 each! I was shocked because I have just been to the Philippines and we have a large guava tree in our backyard. But did you know that the fruit with the highest concentration of vitamin C is THE GUAVA? So I guess, at £0.56 the fruit is worth the trouble here in London where we commute in crowded trains and likely to catch the common cold. Bobi, your typical rat-racetrack driver
