Directions
Sterilize glass jars and their lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Remove them from the water and let them air dry.
Peel the guavas.
Cut them into 4 pieces and put them in a saucepan containing enough water to cover them.
Cook the guavas over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes.
Once the guavas are thoroughly cooked, pass them through a sieve.
Then pour everything into a blender to obtain a puree. Remove the seeds to make blending easier.
Put the guava puree to the pan with the sugar, the lime juice, the lime peels, the cinnamon sticks (optional) and the vanilla liquid (optional). Mix well.
Taste the guava. If it's not very sweet, you can add sugar.
Boil on low heat and stir well until the sugar has dissolved.
Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring regularly. Be careful not to let the jam burn. Add a little water if necessary. Cooking time may vary depending on the amount of fruit added and its firmness.
Optionally, add the agar-agar and cook for another 5 minutes. This ingredient helps the jam solidify.
Check the cooking time by pouring a few drops onto a cold plate, then tilting the plate. If the drop solidifies slightly, the jam is ready. If not, continue cooking for a few minutes, watching carefully.
Remove from heat.
Let stand for 10 minutes.
Pour the jam into the prepared sterilized jars, leaving a 6 mm headspace. Clean the edges and seal the jars. Turn them upside down and let them cool completely at room temperature.
