Nowadays, it is not difficult to find all kinds of varieties of off-season fruits/vegetables year-round, except these golden beauties. Growing up we only used to have guava during the winter season because they could be found in most groceries stores (with predominant latin/hispanic products) because it is one of those fruits our Christmas punch cannot go without! Guava or Guayaba (Wa-ya-ba) as we have always call them, is a tropical and extremely fragrant fruit especially when they are ripe. I can almost compare it to the sweetest fragrance of a sweet, ripe, golden pineapple. At their peak, their texture is smooth and their skin is edible. They should give slightly when squeezed. Their pulp is flowery, sweet, creamy, slightly tart, and filled with lots of smooth round little seeds which are also edible.
Honey compliments the natural sweet and tartness of the guava without overwhelming or changing their taste.
