GUAVA BITES. Cause what do you do with guavas?

First thing first, SAVE THIS RECIPE FOR WHEN YOUR GUAVAS ARE RIPE. Under ripened guavas won’t work as well.

I recently went to the grocery store looking to make some sort of fig bite for cocktails with a girlfriend. Fingers crossed that they would have them right at the beginning of fig season, I was not surprised that they weren’t there. In their place was a box of 12 guava. Challenge accepted! To be transparent, I kind of made up this recipe as I was going (taking notes the whole time) but really liked how they came out so I had to share! I haven’t had many experiences with guava but got a few comments and messages on Instagram with both recipe ideas and what to expect texturally. I was surprised to find that most of the seeds inside the guava will soften so much that I don’t notice them while a sporadic few (like 1-3 in each guava) will be harder. It caught me off guard. That said, my friend and I both loved them. My husband who doesn’t love fruits with seeds because they can stick in your teeth—raspberries, blackberries, you get it—wasn’t a fan. So, if you’re like him, this recipe isn’t for you. If you’re like me, this is different which makes it exciting and fun—ENJOY!
