 GUAVA DESSERTS-COLD
 Florida Fruit Cup
 1 cup each guavas, (fresh or canned), grapefruit or tangelo
 hearts, pineapple and % cup rose-apple or carissa
 Slice guavas, cut up pineapple and grapefruit in medium pieces,
slice rose-apple or carissa thinly. Cover with guava juice. Add
juice of one lemon or lime and sugar lightly. Let stand in refrig-
erator two hours before serving. (This is a good fruit cocktail.)
 Guavas with Cream
 Peel good flavored, thick meated guavas. Cut slice from stem
and blossom ends. Cut in halves and remove pulp. Put pulp
through fruit press and add the pulp to the guava shells. Sweeten
lightly and allow to stand in ice box until cold. Serve in sherbet
glasses with cream and sugar, with plain cake or cookies. Peaches
or strawberries with cream were never better than above. It is
an admirable dessert to follow a heavy dinner or for the evening
meal.

 Put guava pulp, sugar, lemon juice and egg whites in large

may be used in the same manner as guavas.
 Guava Delicious No. 1
 Pare ripe guavas, cut them in half and scoop out the seeds with
a thin silver spoon. Cut the shells into small pieces. Cut a banana
lengthwise into quarters. Have twice as much guava as banana.
In a glass serving dish place alternately the bananas and guavas.
Have the top layer guava, sprinkle generously with sugar, add a
half cup of cold water, cover the dish and let it stand in the
refrigerator for several hours. Serve very cold, with or without
cream. -Contributed by Mrs. Carleton W. Taylor, Lake Helen, Florida.
