Bocadillo (Colombian Guava Paste)
One serving has 262 kcal and 2 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of vitamin C (216%). Ready in 90 minutes.
- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 60 min
- Makes: 1 serving (130 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 70 g Guava, raw
- 55 g Sugar
- 5 g Lemon juice
Method
- Peel the guavas and remove the seeds, then blend the flesh to a smooth puree.
- Push the puree through a fine sieve to remove any remaining seed fragments.
- Put the puree in a heavy saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, for 30-35 minutes, until very thick and it pulls away from the side of the pan.
- Keep stirring in the last few minutes to prevent catching, until the paste is glossy and deep pink-red.
- Pour into a small, lightly oiled dish or mould, spreading it to an even thickness, and let cool completely.
- Once firm, turn out and cut into small blocks; this makes about 4 pieces, so this is 1 serving, and you can multiply the recipe for more.
