Cuban's sure love their guava! Guava paste, jam or pastelitos where always a staple growing up. This recipe is a family favorite passed down a few generations. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. My family loves this jam with cheese wedges or over cream cheese. I have also used it to make cheesecake and to flavor cakes and frostings. YIELDS ABOUT 48OZ OF JAM GREAT FOR CANNING!

-
4Strain the puree really well and discard the skin and pulp left behind.
