How to Make Pink Guava Jam

  1. Wash and roughly chop 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of pink guavas.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped guavas with 700g (1.5 lbs) of granulated sugar.
  3. Add the juice of 2 limes and the zest of 1 lime.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 60-70 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 50g (1.8 oz) of unsalted butter.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace.
  8. Seal the jars tightly and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (to ensure safe storage, optional).
  9. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
