Guavas in a stew

It can be guava season all year when you have a tree. Otherwise, find someone with a tree. The best guavas are the small ones, pink inside, and eaten straight off the tree. 


 Here's what I do when I have ten or 12 of these beauties. Stew them with a little sugar until just tender. You can strain the whole batch into a thick puree. Or carefully scoop out the seeds and strain that: store the guava "shells" in this thick syrup. Serve either the puree or compote over plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
