Recipe & Guide - Guava
Add a taste of the tropics to favourite grilled entrees, or use this flavourful fruit in jellies and chutneys. Also called: guayaba, goyave This pungent fruit is often confused with its cousin, the olive-green, elongated egg-shaped feijoa. Make no mistake about it. the guava may have similar attributes, but it is a completely different fruit. Dating from 800 B.C. in Peru, the sweet greenish-white, yellow or red fruit has been cherished through the ages and can be eaten from the hand if ripe, a trait the feijoa will never have because of its tan skin. Selection and Storage
Guavas ripen quickly at room temperature, so look for fruit that is firm to the touch. The fruit should have no bruises or soft spots, and should have good colour and a tantalizing aroma which shifts from musky to florally sweet when ripe. Guavas should be used as soon as they ripen, or they may be stored for one or two days in the refrigerator, but do not refrigerate before fully ripe. Preparation and Eating Tips
Guavas are traditionally used for jellies and preserves, pickles and chutneys.
They are excellent when grilled with poultry, pork or fish, and deliver a burst of flavour when used with other fruits in salads, pies, sauces or desserts. Guavas may be pureed and used for creams, sauces and pastes, and guava juice is making an appearance in many supermarkets. To prepare, slice off the top, then halve lengthwise and slice into chunks. Or, if you prefer to eat the flesh without the seeds, scoop them out after slicing and puree the seeds with lemon and sugar for use as a sauce. GINGER-GUAVA CHUTNEY – 45 minutes
