my lola used to make this but she would cook it to hard ball stage, put it in square molds and we used it like a gooey cranberry jelly, it looked like small fat tiles.

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 Â£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 Â£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

I suddenly felt sad, because we used to have 2 guava trees (one in front, one at the back) in our house, but eventually the other one died and the other was uprooted due to a very strong typhoon one time.. I remember as a kid, our house maid would climb the tree and get those small, sweet with just the right sourness guavas, and we would eat them as is or my grandma would use them making sinigang..

I wish those trees would still be around so that I could make the fruits into jam/jelly.. Guavas are such a comfort food for me..
