This vibrant fruit mole is for my abuelo Beto's altar for Day of the Dead. It's made with guava, plantains and chiles, inspired by my grandfather's garden in the tropical paradise of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
When my grandfather, Heriberto González Sánchez, died in 2011 at the ripe old age of 102, I had many regrets. I felt the sorrow of leaving my family behind and missing my grandfather’s last years. My heart broke over the memories of our trips to the Cuale River to cool off from the relentless summer heat in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Altars are structures for Día de Muertos that honor ancestors and departed loved ones, with offerings of photographs, food, beverages, flowers and other symbolic objects that represent their most treasured memories. They are said to invite the spirits of the dead back into the world of the living, welcoming them with an ofrenda. Tropical fruits like guava, papaya and guanábana filled my abuelo’s patio.
