Normally made at the end of the fruit season when there is an abundance of overripe fruit, Ates are fruity pastes that can be eaten as bite-sized candies.
In a blender, process the guavas and water for about 2 minutes. Strain into a pot.
Add the sugar, adjusting the amount based on the sweetness of the fruit. It should be as sweet as jelly.
Cook over a low heat, stirring often so the bottom does not scorch. Once you can see the bottom of the pot when stirring, after 45-60 minutes, pour into a mould.
Let cool to room temperature before refrigerating overnight.
