I sent to Costa Rica for guava jam.  Just got two containers.  This
jam is made with real sugar.  Tasted jam and at first did not like
it.  I was expecting the over-sweet made with corn sugar jam like US
jam.  The Costa Rica jam is tart and has a strong fruit taste. 
Tasted more and found that I like it.
