I was curious as to what other people do when stewing them (my hubby just bought home a couple of shopping bags full of them from the roadside) and found your blog.<br />Have you ever tried making guava wine if you've got a huge load of them and you just can't face preserving them? It's delicous!<br />Anyway, I know this post is old and you haven't blogged in quite a while, but I thought I'd say "Hi" and thanks for sharing your recipe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183941516871847744.post-89448902549947238212011-09-09T07:49:58.604+02:002011-09-09T07:49:58.604+02:00Love those colourways!!Love those colourways!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183941516871847744.post-75430219754607490182011-01-08T22:25:53.796+02:002011-01-08T22:25:53.796+02:00thanks Kelly, you are most kind.

The small sugar-free batch took 20 minutes in a pan while the other big load in the pot took 2 hours! <br /><br />I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.<br />Carle'Carlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190166597318712974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183941516871847744.post-9602097927487039662010-12-10T08:24:39.555+02:002010-12-10T08:24:39.555+02:00Oh Carle I am so jealous - my last two batches of ...Oh Carle I am so jealous - my last two batches of plum jam have completely failed to set properly. I must have taken those damn saucers out of the freezer about 65 million times. I even added extra lemon juice and boiled the pips with the fruit. It still tastes good, but my perfectionist self is dissatisfied. Does the ripeness of the fruit make a difference?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150951033316356594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183941516871847744.post-70839519911236423182010-12-09T00:14:41.805+02:002010-12-09T00:14:41.805+02:00Hello,
