Guyava (Chinese Guayava)


This particular guayava is origin from China (of course), well its really a nice
guayava type because in Mauritius we make JAM with this, yes jam made of this
Redish fruit, you boil it in hot water for about 20 mins, let boil for more
10 mins let the boiling water dry a bit, after that remove and let cool down,
Filter & squeeze all the peels and seeds with a piece of cloths,then add sugar
let cool and your sweet Guayava jam is ready...lots of people like this guayava
just natural and some like it with some salt chilli mix.....

Guava isn't really that familiar a fruit here (in Finland). But it looks interesting. :)

The only problem with Goyave de Chine is that it's not Andemic and tends to kill our Mauritian forest.

But yeah. It tastes really good!

We know it's Goyave de Chine season and picking time when the goyava hawkers overhwelm Port-Louis!
