Homemade guava pate de fruit
While some recipes call for frozen fruit, I'd rather prepare this pate de fruit with real fruit. If you're not a guava fan, substitute any other fruit for the guava. I followed those same steps for my mulberry pate de fruit.

Wash the guavas and cut them in half
Transfer to a cooking pot

For the pate de fruit
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Mix the pectin and sugar

Cook the mixture under medium heat and stir constantly until it thickens

Turn of the heat and pour the mixture over the parchment lined sheet
Let cool at room temperature overnight. I cover mine with the parchment paper
