Unripe Guava Spice Jam
Unripe Guava(known as Dhasha pyara in Bengali or Kachhe Amrud in Hindi) though a very popular fruit becomes useless once it loses its freshness which in the heat of Indian summers can be as short as half a day. Though rie guavas are used in Jams and jelly the slight sour and slight bitter taste of the unripe ones render them tasteless. This recipe is a way to turn the guavas into a Jam without tampering with the flavour.
