Cómo preparar Goiabada Guava Marmalade
Wash and roughly chop 2 pounds of ripe guava fruit. Remove any blemishes or stems.
Combine the chopped guava with 1 ¾ cups of granulated sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for approximately 60-80 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will thicken significantly as it simmers.
To check for doneness, place a small spoonful of the goiabada onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
Remove from heat and carefully pour the goiabada into sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace.
Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pint jars) or 15 minutes (for quart jars) to ensure proper preservation. Alternatively, let the goiabada cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
Once completely cooled, enjoy your homemade Goiabada Guava Marmalade!
