Dissolve 1/2 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan. When the contents of the saucepan have a syrup-like consistency, add 1/2 cup of the infusion of apple peels and cores. Process the guavas in the blender, strain them, and place the obtained pulp on the heat.

The mixture will be ready when moving it reveals the sides of the saucepan; at that moment, remove from the heat. In a mold lined with wax paper, pour the mixture and let it rest for 24 hours.
