Ingredients:
· 1lb. guava (five or six big guavas)
· 4oz. sugar
· 2 pieces of cinnamon
· 1 sour lime
· Red food colouring, optional

For custard:
· 2tbsp of custard powder
· ½ pint milk
· 2 oz. sugar

Method:
Peel the guavas thinly and cut into two. Boil, with one big cup of water in a bowl, till the seeds are at the point of coming out. Take off the fire. Let them cool and then with spoon and knife, take out the seeds and put again in the same bowl. Do not throw away the liquid. Add sugar, lime juice and cinnamon, and mix till they become soft.

For custard, heat the milk and add sugar into it. Mix the custard powder with a little water and pour into the hot milk. Keep on stirring. After a little while, when it begins to thicken, take off heat. Fruit should be served in a glass dish and custard in a jug, both separately. When eating, pour custard over the fruit.
