Pastelillos de Guayaba (Guava Pastries)

Growing up in a tropical island is a blessing. We grew up eating so many organic fruits and vegetables; I still remember El Guayabo (Guava Tree) from my neighbor next door–he most beautiful guayabas that I’ve ever seen.

Nowadays, guayabas are found almost everywhere in the United States, which makes it easy for us to recreate those recipes that we grew up eating all the times such as “casquitos de guayaba”. Casquitos are pieces of guava in light syrup (actually, the translation would be, “Guava Helmets” because of the shape of the guava after it has been peeled and halved) also known as guayabas en almibar.

We also have “dulce de guayaba” which is e very well-known dessert and it can be used as a filling for pastries and cakes.
