Steps

Cut guavas into fourths and place them in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water.
Add the two sugars, cinnamon, and vanilla. Let it cook over medium heat until it breaks down completely. Use an immersion blender to help puree the mixture completely. Turn off the stove and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Pour the mixture through a sieve that has been placed over a large bowl. Push the purée through the sieve using a rubber spatula to retain all the seeds. Discard the seeds.
Bring the guava puree back to the stove and continue to cook on high, stirring continuously, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Run a wooden spoon through the bottom of the pan to divide the puree. If the puree separates and the line in the pot stays clean, then the jam is ready.
Remove it from the heat and transfer the jam to sterilized jars to reserve. Let it cool completely before placing it in the refrigerator to chill.

so yummy!!! 10/10 i would recommend to make. i didn’t have immersion blender and used a regular smoothie blender & it worked great. i opted out from the cinnamon and added some raspberries to give it the pinky color. next time, i would just add a little bit of citric acid for some tartness :) thank you!!!
