Does anyone on here have a good guava duff recipe. I mean the good ole one that you boil. I'm feeling courageous enough to give it a try. Make sure give me instructions like a 4yr old cause the last time I tried it, it went straight from the stove to the garbage!

Guava Duff
4 tbs. Butter
1 c. Sugar
3 Eggs, beaten
2 c. Guava Pulp
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
3 c. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
Method
1. In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the guava pulp and the spices. Beat until smooth.
2. Fold in the flour and baking powder.
3. Form the dough into a log shape. Put onto a large piece of greased wax paper and wrap securely, putting a pleat in the top to allow the duff to rise. Wrap the package in foil in the same way.
4. Put the duff into a large pot half full of boiling water and steam for 2-3 hours until well risen and firm to the touch. Duff can also be cooked in the microwave for 20 mins on full power. Do not wrap in foil.
5. Serve warm with hard sauce or butter-egg sauce.

Two questions -- (1) How do you get a tablespoon of butter -- do you melt and pour it into a tablespoon or when it is hard do you dig it out?

(2) Do you actually drop the dough log into the water, or do you suspend it so it gets steamed but not touching the water?

If you buy butter in sticks, it's right there on the side. Just slice the stick at the desired line.

(2) Do you actually drop the dough log into the water, or do you suspend it so it gets steamed but not touching the water?

You'd suspend it above the water on some sort of stand.

You wouldn't worry about any of that and just buy it ready made ;)

To get a tablespoon of butter you can guestimate in that a 1/2lb block of butter is the equivalent of 8 tablespoons so divide into 8 equal pieces or soften the butter (which you will need to do anyway) and then measure it.

As far as the steaming is concerned. Put a small plate or saucer in the bottom of the pot upside down (or use a trivet) and stand the duff on that. Have the water so that it comes about half way up the duff. The duff should float slightly in the water.

Personally, I now use the microwave to cook my duff, it saves having the kitchen full of steam for hours and is much faster!

Nah Rory that's what you would do :D Some of us actually do cook.
