Peel and seed guavas before lightly cooking them and adding to ice creams, sorbets, fools or chilled soufflés. The flesh quickly disintegrates when cooked. Guava taste good with lime, cream or custard. Add to tropical fruit salads but test the seeds first - if they’re not too hard, you can leave them in. It is not necessary to peel and seed guavas for use in jelly or fruit cheese.
