what a lovely surprise. last night i got home and checked the mail ... a friend of mine from
my mission had sent me goiabada!! mmmm ...
goiabada is a candy made from pink guava. basically, it is guava cooked down with sugar and pectin until it becomes thick. and it's oh-so-good!
i like to eat it with cheese -- fresh cheese is best, but i enjoy it with even just string cheese (a little more convenient for packing in my lunch) -- brasilians call this combination romeo & juliet. another delicious way to enjoy goiabada is to throw a piece in the blender with some milk, and presto: yummy guava shake! you can make really good cookies, too -- called goiabinhas -- which are a stiff sugar cookie dough wrapped around a piece of goiabada and sprinkled with sugar. mmm.
love this stuff!!
