Guava Jam

**FLAGSHIP FLAVOR!**

SURPRISE!

I had no idea that I would be making Guava Jam this year until I was driving along Pacific Coast Highway yesterday, and I drove past a Fruit Stand that had guavas for sale, and pink guavas at that — my favorite!!  And the pink guavas they had were REALLY dark pink; almost red in color, and so full of flavor; it truly was like being back on in Hawaii!  When I discovered guavas during my first trip to Hawaii, I was obsessed; they grew EVERYWHERE, and every chance I got, I found myself eating them.  At the hotel, on the roadside, while hiking — I couldn’t get enough of them!

There’s a story behind Guava Jam, and my offerings… Guava Jam is actually one of the Flagship flavors that was offered on this site; it was the one flavor that sold out within [2] days of the initial announcement; In the early days, sales were done by announcement/email as this website was being built; I sold out before the website was finished, and there was no way to make more since the guava season window is so small, that a page for Guava Jam was never made!  I had a local source, a dear friend of mine, for guavas, but for the past two years, the squirrels beat us to them.  So I’ve been holding on to these jar labels, figuring one year it’ll all work out… and it did this year!

Making this jam took all weekend; it is very labor intensive, but worth it!!  It bumped Lemon Pear Jam lineup wise, but I’ll get to that one this week — I promise!

I couldn’t wait to type this up, and make this flavor available on the site — go on, give it a try!!

And to this long absent Flagship Flavor, WELCOME HOME!!!!!!   🙂
