Granny's Guava Pie

3 tablespoons flour 
2/3 cup sugar 
1/8 teaspoon salt Pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie 
4 cups seeded and sliced guavas 
4 teaspoons lemon juice 
3 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces 

Preheat the oven to 450°. Mix together the flour, sugar, and salt and set aside. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry and add the guavas, slightly mounding them in the center. Pour the flour mixture evenly over the guavas. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and dot with butter. Cover with the top pastry. Cut several slashes in the top for steam to escape. Bake 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 350° and bake 30 to 40 minutes longer.

He who has nothing to die for has nothing to live for.
