Guava Jelly is my favorite jelly, partially because my Mom used to make loads of it when I was young and it used to last for the whole year. Surprisingly you never find Guava Jelly in the stores. So I decided to learn it from my Mom and here is the recipe for you all to try.

Ingredients

Method

1. Wash and chop guavas in small pieces.



2. Put guava pieces in a vessel and add water so that it’s just about immersed in the water.



3. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat and let it cook covered.
4. Wait till the seeds start to separate out. Turn off the heat.



5. Place muslin cloth in a large bowl and pour the boiled guavas on it. Tie the muslin cloth carefully and hang it with a bowl at the bottom to collect all the juices. Let it hang for at least 4-5 hours. Don’t squeeze the guavas.



6. Discard what is remaining in the muslin cloth and cook the juice with sugar in a wok till it’s pinkish red.





7. Do the consistency test. Drop a spoonful of mixture and see if it forms a triangle on the spoon (see the picture below). If it passes the consistency test, remove it from the heat. Guava Jelly is ready.



8. Fill it in the sterilized jars. To sterilize the jars, boil them immersed in water for 10-12 minutes. Let them air dry till they are completely dry.



9. Let the jelly cool and it is ready to eat.

Notes

1. Choose the guavas that are soft but not too mushy.
2. You can reduce the sugar a little if you want, it’s up to you.
