Guava Syrup

Tropical Fruit Syrup

With its pretty pink color and bright, sweet taste, frozen GOYA® Guava Fruit Pulp has the heavenly fragrance of a pristine tropical island. Here, we capture its essence by mixing it with natural sugar cane and cooking it until it becomes a thick and sweet syrup. Drizzle over pancakes for a memorable breakfast.

Sweet, tropical Guava Syrup makes an unexpected fruity topping for breakfast favorites, like pancakes and waffles. Also try warmed Guava Syrup drizzled over vanilla ice cream for an island-take on an ice cream sundae. Or, use the syrup as a dip for fresh fruit for a delicious dessert.
