Here's a recipe for Grenada Guava Cheese:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups guava pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or non-stick cooking spray for greasing

Instructions:

1- Prepare the guava pulp by removing the seeds and blending the flesh until smooth. If using canned guava pulp, ensure it's strained to remove any seeds or fibers.

2- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the guava pulp, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved completely.

3- Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently to prevent burning. The mixture will start to thicken and reduce in volume.

4- Cook the mixture for about 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency similar to jam. To test the readiness, you can drop a small amount onto a plate and see if it holds its shape without spreading too much.

5- Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6- Lightly grease a shallow dish or baking tray with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Transfer the guava mixture into the greased dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7- Allow the guava mixture to cool and set at room temperature for a few hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.

8- Once set, carefully cut the guava cheese into desired shapes, such as squares or rectangles.

9- Serve the Grenada Guava Cheese as a sweet treat or dessert, either on its own or paired with crackers, cheese, or bread.

10- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Enjoy the sweet and tangy flavors of this delightful Grenadian confection!
