Guava Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

Guavas - 1 kg
Sugar - 750 grams
Lime Juice - 1 tbsp
Butter/Ghee - 1 tbsp

Method
Take some fresh guavas, clean it and peel the edges and black spots from it. Chop it into big chunks. Guava Cheese Steps Guava Cheese Steps
Boil the chunks with little water and grind it to a smooth puree. Boiling is optional but it makes the blending easier. Guava Cheese Steps
Sieve the pure through a strainer or a muslin cloth to get rid of all the seeds. This is a time consuming process but is quite important. Guava Cheese Steps
Take this smooth pure in a non stick flat pan and heat it. Keep stirring continuously to prevent the bottom from getting burnt. Guava Cheese Steps
When most of the moisture evaporates, add the sugar and continue stirring.
Slowly the colour begins to deepen and the mixture begins to thicken. Add the lime juice and butter (or ghee) and continue mixing. The butter gives a nice sheen and the lime helps the cheese to set.You can remove and store when it the mixture is still viscous (i.e.in Jam consistency). This can be used as a spread over toast for breakfast.
If not, continue to cook till the mix comes together as one mass and starts to leave the edges of the pan.
Grease a plate or tray with some oil and spread this mixture evenly.
Guava Cheese Steps
