trare 7points in guava paste

Not at all; guava jelly is a jelly and guava paste is a paste. They are totally different; however, a popular combination is guava paste with a strip of guava jelly down the middle The jelly is a jelly; the paste is more or less a seriously dessicated finla product from a jam which has been really cooked down. (That's my experience with the making of both AND the eating of both.) Side point: on bread with cream cheese, spiced meat, and vin ordinare, you got major human food! As a child in Cuba, I used to have it for an afternoon snack on French bread with either cream cheese or Edam cheese. Yummy!

It depends on what you are using it for. If you are making your own almond paste just substitute rose water for the almond extract.
