Guava Jam
A quick and easy jam with guava, sugar, lemon juice and saffron.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe guava (white or pink flesh)
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 saffron threads
Instructions
- Remove tops and stems from guava and cut into quarters.
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add guava and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Use a fork to mash the guava to extract the juice. Press guava juice and pulp through a strainer, making sure to get as much of the pulp as possible.
- Transfer the strained guava juice, sugar, lemon juice, and saffron to a medium saucepan. Boil until the guava thickens to a jam, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool. The jam will continue to thicken. Store in an airtight container.
