Is guava jelly the same as paste?

Guava jelly and guava paste are both made with guavas, but they have different textures. Guava jelly is made by boiling guava juice until it thickens into a jelly-like consistency, while guava paste is made by boiling guava pulp until it thickens into a paste-like consistency. Guava jelly is typically smooth and spreadable, while guava paste is more dense and firm. Both guava jelly and guava paste can be used as spreads or fillings for pastries and desserts, but guava paste is also commonly used as a confection or candy.
