Ingredients:  
20 guavas
2 1/4 c. sugar
2 1/4 c. liquid
3 tbsp. margarine or butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
6 to 10 drops red food coloring
2 c. sifted flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup shortening or margarine
1/2 cup milk
Directions:
Directions:
Cut guavas in half, removing the seeds until you have 4 cups of fruit without seeds. Put seeds in sauce pan with 2 1/2 cups of water. Boil for 5 minutes. Put through a colander or sieve. Combine 2 1/4 cup sugar with 2 1/4 cup guava liquid and boil until sugar is dissolved. Add cinnamon, nutmeg and food coloring and 3 tablespoons margarine.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut into the flour 2/3 cup shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour and shortening, mixing all at once like pastry. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough about 1/4 inch thick rectangle piece. Cut 1 inch strips and lay in the bottom of an ungreased rectangular pan (11 x 7 x 1 1/2). Put only one layer of pieces into pan.

Spread the pieces of guava over the strips of dough in the pan. Pour the sugar-water mixture over them. Roll out the rest of the dough into another 1/4 inch thick rectangle piece. Slice in 1 inch strips. Put on top of guavas, immersing some of the strips in the liquid. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake 35 minutes at 375°. Serve as is or with ice cream.

Personal Notes:
Time and effort can be reduced if guavas are prepared and put into the freezer. Use water if no guava sauce is available to add as liquid.
