Too Many Guavas? Preserve Them Now!
While you can preserve different ways my favorite option for an abundant harvest is to half and freeze white guavas for smoothies and make a jam or jelly out of my pink guavas.
This is an awesome video I followed for the pink guava jam: • Homemade Guava Jam
Happy harvesting and preserving!

thanks for sharing guava options. I use them for smoothies but jam/jelly is on my to do list
Excellent video, Mam, you are best Guava grower , I like too.
Now I have to get one of those trees!
😆 Love it! Thanks for the tips.
Beautiful crops!!!
Good job on your guavas!
Thanks for sharing
Rootstock better than the grafted variety! Those look great. Thanks for sharing.
You explained how you preserve the white guavas but how would I preserve the pink guavas until I have the time to make jelly? I found only one option and it was Wikihow that said to half them and freeze them in simple syrup but that would make them too sweet to make jelly with. I've never made jelly before and want to but wouldn't know how to adjust the recipe to accommodate the storage in the simple syrup. Any suggestions?
You should grow the best guava varities. Once you try them you will never be the same.
Were the variety names mentioned? I didn’t catch them but was looking forward to you recommendations
Can you describe the difference between taste in the Mexican Cream vs the Tropical Pink? We got a TP tree after falling in love with the MC, yet have never tried one
Do you think i could grow pink guava in the ground in the coastal bend area texas?,zone9b fluctuating
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Hey, can I ask when this fruits in your zone typically? I'm 9B too just curious
Do you have any issues with birds eating them up once they begin to ripen? If so, what did you do to prevent bird damage? Thanks!
Bad idea to put rotten fruit under the mulch under the tree as it will attract fruit flies in large numbers that will quickly infect the entire crop. I know because I did the same dumb thing. Lost all of last years crop due to worms. This year I put out fruit fly homemade bait stations and every day collect any fallen fruit and if soft I bad them for disposing. Also any guavas that I collect that pass the visual test I put into a bowl of water in the kitchen and observe them for a day. Often the tiny white worms will begin to wiggle out and you can discard those fruits. In addition I spray the tree with Monterey orchard spray once a week in hopes it might reduce fly infestation. Still some fruits get worms. I am in zone 9b in Port St. Lucie Florida. My tree variety is Ruby supreme. Someone told me there is a variegated leaf guava that does not get fruit flies but I have strong reservations.
can u ship ur extra guavas? to Texas?
I thought this was HOW to preserve them.
