The New Duff, Nassau, Bahamas

A piece of uniqueness

In this country, guavas are rarely found in the supermarket. Yet this exotic fruit has a very special flavor in the mouth: it is reminiscent of a mixture of strawberries, peaches, pears and gooseberries. It also tastes particularly delicious when cooked into jam or jelly. Cooks in tropical regions are particularly good at this.

The Bahamas is the only island in the Caribbean to have invented guava duff, a dessert in which the pastry is steamed and filled with either freshly cooked guavas or jam. A rum butter sauce is poured on top to round off the flavor of the dessert. Until now, guava duff has mainly been prepared at home or sold in simple stores. The store "The New Duff" has now turned professional. It also offers small duffs that can survive a few hours' flight and can also be eaten at home. So you have a piece of uniqueness in your suitcase.
