ingredients
directions
- Cut the guavas into quarters and remove the seeds.
- Put the seeds in a sieve and add a small amount of water.
- Rub into the sieve and press down with a flat spoon so as to extract the pulp surrounding the seeds, into a bowl kept below the sieve.
- Blend the gauva pieces to a smooth pulp in your food processor.
- Measure how many cups of pulp you have - include the pulp removed from around the seeds.
- Put all the pulp into a large, flat, heavy-bottomed dish on a medium flame.
- Add sugar to the amount of one cup less than the number of cups of guava pulp.
- For example, if you had 6 cups of pulp, add 5 cups of sugar to it.
- Cook, stirring frequently, till it becomes hard to stir and the guava cheese begins to come away from the sides of the pan.
- Grease a platter and spoon the guava cheese onto it.
- Spread into a thick layer.
- Allow to cool a little and while still warm, cut into diamond shapes.
- When completely cooled, store in an air-tight container.

I'm an island girl living in Seattle, WA who loves to cook! I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, and I don't find many things more satisfying than sharing food and good memories with them. Plus they always seem to be hungry--perfect!
