Did You Know?
Guava jam is a dessert made from guavas and is typical of Brazilian rural cuisine, but it’s also enjoyed worldwide. It originated in Brazil when Portuguese colonists used it as a substitute for marmalade.
Like marmalade, guava jam has a firm consistency and is made with guavas, water, and sugar. The artisanal version is traditionally presented in wooden boxes and shaped like bricks weighing up to 66 lbs, though it can also be made as a jelly (Source: Wikipedia).
