Bocadillo de guayaba

Guava jelly , "guava snack"), guava jelly, or guava paste, is a Hispanic American confection made with guava pulp and panela, which is consumed abundantly throughout Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela. Similar confection can be produced from other fruits like banana and coconut. The town of Vélez, Santander Department, Colombia, is a major centre of production for the sweet and gives it the alternative name "bocadillo veleño". In 2006, the bocadillo veleño was nominated for the cultural symbol for Colombia in the contest organized by a magazine, Semana. In Venezuela, the form of consumption is similar to that of Colombia, where the product is sometimes called "conserva de guayaba".
