So,
there is a simpler way to make guava duff; who knew? Even though nothing beats a
guava duff made from fresh guavas, I had to settle for canned; not only because
of the season, but it seems as if homegrown guavas are becoming such a rarity
these days. Surprisingly, the canned stuff really delivered! The prep time for
this recipe has been reduced considerably; which probably makes it one of the easiest
ways to make guava duff. This recipe could also double as a guava swirl.
