A Sweet guava treat for Mother's day

Happy Mother’s day to all Moms, Grandmothers, Stepmothers, Aunties and Godmothers.

Creamy Guava Sweet Treat
Being a mom is so wonderful. The day I first laid eyes on my daughter I cried. I was so happy and blessed. My kids are a big part of my life and I am so grateful to have them in my life. I am so proud of my girls. They are more than I could have wished for. Nothing can compare to the love I feel, when I hold them or when I see them happy and content. They are my daily inspiration. I thank God every day for them.

My girls, my pride and joy.
To all moms: I want to share with you today one of my favorite childhood recipes, an easy and delicious guava dessert recipe to share with your family that my grandmother used to make for us every summer. So refreshing and light you won’t be able to put it down.


Creamy Guava Dessert

Serves 6

8 -10 ripe guavas (I used yellow)
Juice of half a lemon
1 tsp orange blossom water
Sugar to taste (about half a cup of raw sugar)
Some fresh water (optional)

Remove the skin of the guava and cut it in half. With a small spoon or a melon scooper remove the seeds and reserve in a bowl. Cut the guava flesh in segments and reserve. In a mixer add the guava seeds, sugar, orange blossom water and lemon juice and mix till smooth. Put the mixture in a sieve and remove the seeds. You should get a creamy sauce that is beyond good. Add the sauce to the guava segments and blend well with a spoon. Refrigerate the guava dessert for 30 minute and then serve in glass bowls. Enjoy!
