How to Make Guava Raisin Spread

  1. Combine 1 cup raisins and ½ cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until all the water is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 (12 ounce) can guava paste, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  4. Return the mixture to low heat and gently heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure the guava paste is fully incorporated and the spread is warm throughout.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. This will yield approximately 2 2/3 cups of spread.
  6. Enjoy on your favorite bread, biscuits, or even as a topping for yogurt!
