Wash. Remove all stems leaves etc. Boil with water. Did approx. 1 part water, 1 part strawberry guava. Unclear how much to use based on online recipes. #wine #strawberryguava
Found this one random recipe on the pre-AI slopped Internet. But the proportion of water to fruit seemed off to me, so I backed off on how much (they say 2 parts water to 1 part fruit... I did about 1:1)

Strawberry Guava wine and Feijoa Wine
I was given a lot of strawberry guavas and feijoas back in may and didn't have any room in the freezer or a primary free. So I followed the recipe below up til the fruit was cooked and strained and then got my preserving jars out and sealed it all, the same as for fruit juice with no added...
btw, this is "strawberry guava" as in Psidium cattelianum, not "strawberry" and "guava".
Next step was to strain out the liquid. I had cleaned and sanitized a carboy earlier with Star San. Also an airlock. The cooked fruit goes in the compost (or flung out into the yard 🤪). It's a good thing I am doing this outdoors, I missed the carboy and spilled some everywhere. #homebrewing
Cavedale Rhônes@ai6yr What was the brix before the sugar add? D-47 should be good. Surprised at the boiling part. It might produce cooked rather than fresh flavors. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out.
