apple guava preserves - first try

21, September 2011

- pick apple guava just when it is starting to turn yellow from green, kept inside overnight
- wash and cut into slices, discarding ends and blemishes
- ended up with about 8 oz of slices
- cover with water and boil vigorously for about 20 minutes (tried to bash the pulp while stirring)
- forced through strainer with spoon (was able to get a lot of the pulp into the juice)
- ended up with about 1 cup
- store in jar in 'fridge
