pierre, you are most likely to find the small native guavas from around June to August or at the end of the summer/beginning of the rainy season. The trees bear fruit all year round however, hence the ambiguity of answers you may have received about the season for them. The native guavas are almost always only found at the large wet markets or weekend markets such as FTI in Taguig or the Lung Center Sunday market. They are a bit more common in provincial markets.

ah memories of home economics classes…i forgot what kind of fruit it was that we used, but it came out sour and sweet, and it was good with very salty crackers

Jam! I love jam… and my favorite happens to be guava! As a kid, we had a native guava tree – the ones with tiny fruit. My mom made jams and marmalades of all sorts (most common was pineapple) but never guava. Commercial “jams” I’ve tried tend to be pink and seem more like guava-flavored pink Jello than anything else.

A warm croissant that shatters with every bite slathered with guava jam and thick unsalted butter. A cup of mint tea and I call it breakfast! Y-U-M!

Mmmmmm. Your guava & cheese pairing reminds me of Cuban pastelitos de guayaba y queso.

MM, time permitting, you should attempt this one of these days. In a nutshell, it’s guava paste/jam (?) with cream cheese baked in puff pastry (more or less like a turnover) then brushed with simple syrup. Â¡QuÃ© rrrrrriiiico!
