Ingredients
- 6 ripe guavas.
- ½ cup of panela or sugar.
- 2 cups of water.
- 2 cinnamon sticks.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.
Instructions
- Start by washing the guavas thoroughly. Trim the ends, then cut them into small cubes. Place the guavas in a pot with the water, cinnamon, and vanilla essence. Boil for about 20 minutes.
- After this, remove from heat and let cool.
- Drain the water in which the guavas were cooked, retaining a little. Use this water to blend the guavas.
- Strain the blend to remove the guava seeds.
- Transfer the blended pulp and sugar back to the pot and simmer on low heat. Keep stirring to prevent burning.
- Once it begins to thicken, remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can store it in a glass container and refrigerate.
Enjoy!
Notes
- If the spread turns out too watery, reheat and keep stirring until the water evaporates. If it becomes too thick, reheat and add two tablespoons of water, then stir.
