Cómo preparar Guava Paste Guayabate
- Halve the guavas and carefully scoop out the seeds. Set seeds aside.
- Soak the guava seeds in 1 cup of water for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the halved guavas in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the remaining ½ cup of water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the guavas are very soft and easily mashed (about 20-25 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Strain the liquid from the soaked seeds (it will be slightly mucilaginous) and add it to the cooked guavas.
- Discard the seeds.
- Carefully grind the cooked guavas through a food mill to remove any remaining fiber (or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency).
- Measure the resulting guava pulp.
- Add an equal amount of sugar to the measured guava pulp.
- Mix well. Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens significantly (approximately 15-20 minutes). The mixture is ready when a small spoonful dropped onto an ice cube forms a firm jelly that can be lifted off in one piece.
- Remove from heat. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 10 minutes, or until the mixture forms a heavy, smooth paste.
- Line a loaf pan or square casserole dish with wax paper. Pour the guava paste into the prepared pan.
- Let the guava paste cool completely and then refrigerate for at least 24 hours to set.
- To store, turn the paste out of the pan and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- **For a dried consistency:** Spread the cooked paste thinly onto wax paper on a wooden board. Cover with cheesecloth and set in a sunny location for two days, turning occasionally to ensure even drying.
