Ripe guavas
Sugar

Wash guavas, cut in halves, cover with water and boil until tender. Rub through a sieve. Weigh the pulp and add an equal quantity of sugar. Boil until the mixture shrinks from the sides of the pot. Stir all the time to prevent burning. When a little of the mixture dropped into water forms a ball, pour into a shallow greased dish. Cool and cut into squares when firm.
