Herb's Guava Butter...

When I think of staying at a bed and breakfast, I immediately wonder what will be served for breakfast, don't you? This was our first experience. We were still on California time, so Bob went downstairs early and brought up some wonderful Kona-Macadamia coffee. Oh my. Was that ever delicious! We dressed for the day, and joined everyone else for breakfast at 8:00, in the dining area overlooking the golf course.

Other guests included newlyweds, John and Joy, and a couple from another island, Stewart and Casey. Herb served us fresh fruit smoothies, a thick blend of guava juice, pineapple, and frozen bananas. Then Ruth helped him serve us each a bowl of hot brown rice, and a bunch of good stuff to go on top... chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, sliced papaya, fresh pineapple chunks, raisins, and brown sugar. Herb brought on his fresh baked bread... and then presented his "secret" butter. Oh m'gosh!

Here's Herb's recipe:
Slice up a POUND of butter in a mixing bowl
Whip into the butter one 18 ounce jar of GUAVA JELLY (NOT jam).
Leave some of the jelly lumpy for nice texture and appearance.

Slather on bread!

We enjoyed several more cups of Kona-Macadamia coffee while visiting with these new friends. It was nearly 10:00 and no one was in a hurry to get away.
