Oh how lovely it is to see the trees in our yard thriving and giving us more fruits than we could handle. It is a blessings that will never get wasted. Guava is one of my favorite fruit as well as my favorite tree as a kid. I remember climbing up on our Guava Tree in our old house and will always pick it's fruits. I'll eat it directly while still on top without even washing it. It's always fun to eat Guava while on top of the tree.

Just enjoying the peaceful life I have as a kid. Do you also have that kind of fond memories during your childhood? I could do it too with manggo tree, atis tree, aratilis tree if only wr have these on our land. But we only have guava and banana tree. But those Banana tree is all gone now, and now we have this guava tree again. A completely different one of course.

I was on the garage when I noticed Mama is busy on something. At first I thought she's cutting vegetables to make Pinakbet. But when I go down to check, she's actually cutting some guava, haha. I had no idea why she's cutting them into pieces I asked but I didn't hear her answer. And so, as a bida bida, I suggested to make a guava jam. And she was like "that's what I said earlier, didn't you hear it?" Hahaha, I was like "oh..." i can't hear it well that time because I have my earbuds on the right ears and in almost full volume. Lol. I'm vibing with Stray Kids District 9 that's why. Lol

Mama saw that a lot of guava fruits falling from it's tree. And so, for it not to get wasted, she decided to make a guava jam out of it. She picked some from the tree and she also picked some on the ground, those just newly one though.

We have two guava tree actually, the other one is still a baby compare to the old one which is like 7 or 8 years now. While the other one is like 2 to 3 years I think. But both are giving us fruits already. They are the smaller kind by the way. I know guava fruit can grow into much bigger but this one is the smallest I think. Look how small it is in my hand, and it is already ripe when I check it.

And here's the fruit on the younger guava tree. I actually haven't tried the fruit of this one. I love guava before but now I don't feel like eating it. I don't know, I just don't crave for it anymore. Lol.

And as for the JAM, there it is, done and perfectly cooked. I didn't take photos for all the process because I think making it is just the same in how others makes their jam. And we didn't put anything on it aside from sugar and water to soften the guavas. Easy peasy no? Just this afternoon we eat it and put it in a bun and it's delicious. It's perfect to have for breakfast or ad a snacks (ノ゚0゚)ノ→.

OMG! matamis sya? Ngayon na lang ulit ako nakakita ng pink na guava

Ang cute no? Pink, usually kasi white eh even if hinog na. Matamis yes, lagyan mo unting asin mas maeenhance pa sweetness nya uwu

When I was younger, I used to enjoy eating guava, but when something got stuck in my teeth, I never ate again. But now that my teeth are healed, I can eat some foods that include small seeds, and I love eating guava with salt and vinegar.

I have never tried to taste the guava jam. But it looks delicious. ✨

Aghh, ang hirap kapag may nasstuck na buto. Hirap alisin ba haha. Diko pa natry yang with vinegar. Laging with salt lang sakin ay.

You should try it or if your a tree in there, try making it nalang. Di naman nya need ng maraming ingredients.

Super. Umiyak nga ako nung bata ako pangit pa kasi ngipin ko nun. Kaya hindi na ako kumain ng mga ganyan, guava, talong, tomato, etc. Basta may buto. 😂

Sige, try ko gumawa next time. Wala pa naman ata bunga yung guava tree namin dito.

Wow, that's taste good. I really love guava jam also. I also want to try this how-to cook hehe. Thanks for sharing.

It's easy to make naman, if you have guava trees why not make some. Just make sure its ripe na.

Bellos momentos cuando tenemos arboles frutales en casa, yo tambien creci con un árbol de guayaba, y todavia tengo uno, pero el primero ya lo cortamos, tuve una infancia super feliz, a mi me encanta la mermelada de guayaba, me parece exquisita😋

Do you also love to climb up on it? Hehe. Glad to k ow you have a happy childhood. And your guava tree for sure already gave you a lot of fruits. Do you also make a guava jam?

YES, also compote, jelly, ice cream, juice... lots of things😊

I envy you, I don't know how to eat guava😭

Ehhh, why? You can just eat it like how you eat apple. You can eat the seed, the skin as in everything haha

It looks delicious. Wonderful to have the guava tree in your own home.
