Amber in AUS Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 We have a tree laden with ripe guava. The kids are not enjoying them as a fruit in their own right, DH is eating as many as he can manage. What can i make with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Oooh, my dd has been asking me to buy her guava after a friend with a farm up in Gingin sent us some. But you cant buy them in the shops! Guava jam or jelly is I think what I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiopianFood Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I had the BEST drink EVER made from guava, sugar cane juice, and ice, blended. YUM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Guava butter. Rather lovely with cream cheese on toast. Guava leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean my entire house smelt just having 2 on the counter for a few hours! I will check out the jam recipes that could be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate in Arabia Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Dh likes banana-guava fruit salad, or banana-guava milkshake. I like it alright, but the guava overpowers my kitchen so I don't like to buy them often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiguirre Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Here's a recipe for guava paste that looks doable, although I've never done it. I've always bought guava paste. http://www.bigoven.com/94436-Guava-Paste-(Guayabate)-recipe.html Happy cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom made guava jam with ours, until the year she saw all the little white wiggly things come floating to the top of the pot. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Guava juice is a big hit here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Unless everyone else in the neighbourhood also has a tree, I would set my children up with a fruit stand and get rid of them while making a bit of money. (Guess who is not a guava fan ?!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
