To begin with, wash guavas thoroughly and chop them roughly. Take a deep skillet, add water and bring it to a boil.
Step 2
:
Add chopped guava pieces to the boiling water and cook for at least 10 minutes or until the guava is soft and mushy. Make a thick pulp by mashing it thoroughly.
Step 3
:
Pour the mashed pulp into a large strainer. Gently press the guava mixture in the sieve to separate the guava skin and seeds from the pulp. Set aside.
Step 4
:
Add the guava pulp, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a pan. Make sure you add pulp and sugar in an exact 1:1 ratio. Cook for at least 15 minutes over medium heat to achieve a jelly-like consistency, and the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
Step 5
:
Once done, transfer it to a greased plate or tray and let it cool. Cut the guava cheese into desired shapes and serve.
