Guava Jelly


If nothing else it looks stunning... what better reason for making jelly?

1 kg guava fruit, varying degrees of ripeness
1/4 cup water

Boil fruit to soften.
Strain through a jelly bag for at least 24 hours.

For every cup of juice add 1 cup of sugar. Add juice of 2 small limes.

Boil vigorously until jelly gives setting test.
(Put a small amount on a cold plate and when it cools it makes ripples when you push the jelly from the side)

Watch carefully, this stage takes only about 10 minutes. Let it stand for a few minutes
Pour into hot jars and seal.
