 GUAVA DESSERTS-HOT
 Rich, ripe, flavorsome guavas, peeled if necessary, cut in halves,
 seed'center removed and put through the fruit press or dilver,
 then combined with the shells, sugared and covered with varying
 types of rich, sweet doughs and pastries, baked to a golden crisp-
 ness and oozing fragrant juice, are some of the manifold uses for
 which guavas are particularly suited.

 Shortcake, when carefully made, can be as delicious with guavas
as with the more renowned strawberry or orange, and deserves
to be served frequently in Florida homes.
 The well-known German apple cake or kutchen is made with
yeast and is a most delicious cake when spread liberally with
butter and served with coffee. Many think this cake is even more
delicious made with guavas instead of apples, and once having
tasted the guava sauce cakes, in which the sugar and spice is
blended with the fragrance of the guava, will pronounce them
gastronomic delights.
