Directions
Guava Paste-Guayabate,This recipe is posted by request and was found on the net. No name was attached.,This recipe was perfect! I made this to use for a guava pastry and OMG ?? This paste was so easy to make too. Yum,I remember my great grandma making this when I was a little kid, and it was always so good! We always ate it with slices of white cheese. Such memories! Well, this was a good first (but not last!) attempt for me. Probably overcooked it a bit because it set rather hard. But still VERY tasty! Made for Susie’s World Tour, Team Incredibles.
