The treatment in this research was the ratio of red guava pulp to roselle petal porridge, respectively PT1 (10: 0), PT2 (9: 1), PT3 (8: 2), and PT4 (7: 3). Parameters observed in this jam were moisture content, ash content, pH, total dissolved solids, sucrose content, and sensory assessment. The best ratio in this research is PT4. The resulting moisture content of 25.01%, ash content of 0.25%, contained pH 3.85, total dissolved solids 76.87%, sucrose content 50.07%, Based on descriptive sensory assessment, the result of colored jam (4, 17), flavor (3.17), smell (3.33) has a texture (4.13) and the overall assessment gives a good impression (6,27).
