Jelly (Guava)
Source: Hildagonda J. Duckitt, 1891
Instructions
- Take nice ripe guavas, peel them, cut them through, and just cover them with water.
- When quite soft, pour them into a large, coarse bag, something like a jelly-bag, and leave it to drain all night.
- Next day, add to every two cups of the juice, when it boils, one cup of sugar.
- Boil briskly till the consistency of jelly.
- To test it, pour a little into a tumbler of cold water. If it does not mix with the water, it is ready to be poured into moulds or jars.
