Recently, I heard that our state is planning to introduce some insect or virus to kill off guava plants as they are considered an invasive species. I am the granddaughter of a guava jelly factory owner and I cannot imagine not having guava jelly in Hawaii. With this impending disaster on my mind, I decided to ask my son to pick our precious little yellow guavas so I could teach him to make some jelly. From one little bowlful of guava we were able to produce a small jar of jelly (sweetened with Splenda Blend). Tonight I will make scones and tomorrow for breakfast we can have yellow guava jelly with our scones and tea. Cheerio, tah tah for now!
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteOh, your guava jelly and scones look so yummilicious. Ummmm, I can taste it now. :-) Hopefully, the guava plants won't be destroyed intentionally.
Yum, yum! No wonder you know how to make jelly. That looks so delicious! When I was little, my mother had guava plants in our yard and I remember eating them and lilikoi's too.
ReplyDeletelove scones with jelly - yours looks and taste even better...
ReplyDeleteHow interesting on your background.
Is this a family recipe, or can you share it....
Yes I can't imagine not having guava. Your guava jelly looks really delici-Ono! I've never tried making guava jelly before but I have a "Guava Jelly Belly"!!! ;)))
ReplyDeletemmmmm that looks so good...
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaaat? No guavas? No guava jelly? That's the only jelly I eat! Yours looks YUMMY.
ReplyDeleteI pray the guava plants will be safe. My toast or smoked meat won't be the same without guava jelly. :(
