Fèm Sonje Lakay Konfiti Gwayaj

Fèm Sonje Lakay Konfiti Gwayaj is a delightful Haitian preserve made from the gwayaj (guava) fruit, which is known for its sweet, aromatic flavor. The fruit is slow-cooked with sugar, spices, and sometimes a touch of lime or vanilla to balance the sweetness and add a layer of depth. The result is a rich, thick, and sweet spread or jam with a slightly tangy finish, perfect for pairing with bread, cheese, or even desserts.

The name "Fèm Sonje Lakay," meaning "Women Remember Home," embodies the cultural connection and nostalgic feelings that come with enjoying homemade, traditional Haitian treats. Konfiti Gwayaj is often made for special occasions or enjoyed as a comforting snack, evoking memories of family gatherings and the warmth of Haitian hospitality. It’s a beautiful example of how Haitian cuisine transforms simple, local ingredients into cherished, flavorful creations passed down through generations.
