How to Make Guava Puree (Perfect Base for Guava Recipes!)

by Lola Dweck
This fresh guava puree requires just one ingredient (and a splash of water) and adds a tropical twist to all of my favorite recipes. I’ve used it to make refreshing drinks, cold-weather drinks, breads, cookies, guava butter, and my favorite guava jam.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds guavas
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Use a knife to trip the ends of each guava. Slice the guavas in half. You may cut them into quarters for easier blending.
  • Add guavas to the blender with 1/2 cup of water.Process on low-medium speed until smooth, for about 30-60 seconds. I blend them on low-medium to keep the seeds intact for easier straining.
  • Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the blended guava mixture into it. Use a spoon or spatula to push the puree through. PRO TIP: You'll have to work in batches for this step, which is essential for removing the seeds, resulting in a smooth puree.
  • You can enjoy this fresh pink guava puree in any of your favorite guava recipes or freeze it for later use.
