Guava

If you are a fan of guava and want to enjoy it throughout the year, you might want to consider freezing it.  Freezing guava is an easy and efficient way to preserve its delicious flavour and nutritional value.

To freeze guava, you will need to follow a few simple steps.  First, wash the fruit and remove the stem and any blossoms. Then, peel the fruit, halve it, and scoop out the seeds.  You can also slice the fruit or puree it (optionally with a light syrup).

Next, you will need to package the guava for freezing.  You can pack the halves and slices either dry, with sugar, or in a light syrup in rigid containers. If you choose to puree the guava, pack it in small quantities in freezer bags.  Make sure to label and date your containers to keep track of the storage time.

When it comes to thawing the frozen guava, you can use it directly from the freezer. The fruit will be slightly softer than fresh guava, but it will retain its flavor and texture.

Frozen guava can be stored for up to 12 months, which means you can enjoy the taste of this delicious fruit all year round.  Whether you prefer to eat it as a snack, use it in smoothies or desserts, or add it to your favourite recipes, freezing guava is a great way to make sure it's always on hand when you need it.
