Guavas can be a difficult fruit to use, yet they are extremely nutritious and has the highest Vit. C content of any fruit. The Vit. C is also not as readily destroyed by heat as with other fruits. Here is a light guava dessert for summer or fall. Ingredients:
10 ripe guavas |
5 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon gelatin powder (or equivalent in sheets) |
1/4 cup hot water |
1 cup prepared custard (shop-bought is fine) |
1/2 cup fresh cream |
Directions:
1. Peel guavas thinly, cut into chunks, and boil in very little water until very soft.
2. Mash them or liquidise. If you'd like a smoother puree, press through a sieve.
3. Add the sugar, stir, and simmer gently again until thick. Remove from heat.
4. Dissolve the gelatine in the 1/4 cup hot water and add to the guava puree.
5. Whisk in custard, and then the cream.
6. Pour into individual bowls, or in a dessert bowl, cool, and then leave in fridge until needed.
7. Garnish with a blob of cream or any berries if you like.
