Zubereitung von Guava Jam
- Prepare the sugar syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Continue boiling until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F/113°C), forming a thread when a small amount is dropped into cold water.
- Prepare the guavas: Halve 2 pounds of ripe guavas and carefully remove the pits.
- Cook the guavas: Add the halved guavas to a separate saucepan with ½ cup of water. Simmer over medium-low heat until the guavas are very soft (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Strain the guava pulp: Carefully puree the cooked guavas using a food mill or immersion blender to remove the skins and any remaining fibers. Alternatively, you may use a sieve.
- Combine and thicken: Add the strained guava puree to the prepared sugar syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Continue to boil, uncovered, for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the jam reaches the desired consistency, thickening significantly and setting on a chilled plate.
- Preserve the jam: Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing. (Refer to http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_home.html for detailed instructions on water bath canning).
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the jars to cool completely. You should hear a distinct 'pop' as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
