In a sauce pan bring Apple Juice (3 cups) up to a boil over medium heat.

Add the Guava (12) into the sauce pan.

Add Brown Sugar (4 Tbsp), Cinnamon Stick (1), Whole Cloves (3) and Lime (1). Once it comes up to a boil bring it down to a simmer.

In another deep saucepan over medium heat, add Olive Oil (1 Tbsp), Vidalia Onion (1/2), Scallion (1 bunch), Garlic (2 cloves), Fresh Thyme (6 sprigs), Hot Smoked Paprika (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (as needed). Give it a stir.

Next add in the Tomato Paste (2 Tbsp) and stir for 30 seconds Add the Apple Cider Vinegar (1/2 cup), Salt (1 tsp), Worcestershire Sauce (1 Tbsp), Chili Sauce (1 1/4 cups), Molasses (2 Tbsp), and Apple Juice (1/2 cup) then bring it to a boil. Continuously stir and lower the heat.

Turn off the heat on the guava pot and using a potato masher, lightly crush the guavas.

Strain the liquid of the guava pot and take a few whole seedless pieces of guava and add into the liquid.

Add the guava syrup and pieces into the other sauce pot, bring up to a boil then lower to a simmer for 35 minutes.

Turn off the heat. Using a stick blender, blend everything together. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Allow it to cool before using. Enjoy!
