treefrog @ 13:42 Guava jam

A real Hawaiian treat!  They grow like weeds in some forest areas here.  The home I bought has a large backyard full of mature fruit trees, separated by interesting ropey lava domes.  I have an Achiote (annatto) tree, mountain apple, Lychee, Mango, several Papayas, a couple guavas (one might be the rare white guava), and one citrus that we think might be Lemon… will tell when it fruits, and heaven only knows what else buried under the weeds in the back quarter that has not been completely cleared as yet.  The area gets 150 inches of rain a year, and battling the jungle is a constant effort.  The property was left wild for several years, and in the past few weeks I have learned the true meaning of “biomass”… emphasis on the MASS… as I and friends meticulously hand clear the place.  About 12 pickup truck loads to the green-waste dump, so far.  We’re maybe half done.
