Jamaican Cherry Guava Jelly

Jamaican Cherry or Strawberry Tree Berry choose the name you prefer and Guava, perfect combination.

4 12 oz cans guava juice
Juice from 2 lemons
Strawberry Tree Fruit (aka Jamaican Cherry) This fruit is full of pectin, and will jell without any extra help. The first time I made it, I used pectin and made the stiffest jelly ever!)

4 cups of sugar

Bring guava to boil and let simmer to reduce. Wash Strawberry Tree fruit and pour into guava juice. Simmer cooking the fruits until they are soft. Mash and push thru your food mill. Using your Chinois strain the fruit mixture so it is pure – no berry seed.
Add lemon juice, combine pectin with 1/4 cup sugar and stir in fruit
Ladle into prepared jars and water bath for 5 minutes.
