What is guava jam M'AMOUR?
It is an extra jam, made in Guadeloupe by the Guy Lesueur house, established since 1958 at the Domaine de l'Espérance, in Pointe Noire (Basse Terre). Guava, a fruit widely grown in Creole gardens, is cooked with cane sugar, white sugar, fruit pectin as a gelling agent and citric acid as an acidifier: the result is an amber to orange jam, with a thick, set texture, with no added lemon juice.
How to use it?
It spreads on bread, rusks or a brioche, and also goes with crêpes, waffles, fromage blanc or plain yoghurt. In baking, it fills a tart or a rolled cake, or tops a milk-based dessert. A small spoonful mixed into a soft cheese brings a sweet-savoury pairing.
What to pair it with?
In the same M'AMOUR range: mango jam, pineapple jam or coconut jam. For a guava drink, the recipe for Dominican champola is on the blog. The Caribbean and Antilles products section brings together the other Guadeloupean specialities in the catalogue.
