This appetizer recipe comes from my aunt’s friend and I LOVE IT!!! My aunt brought this dish to my sister’s bridal and baby shower and it was a big hit. Since we live in Orlando it’s easy to find yuca, also known as cassava.

Here’s a list of ingredients:

• yuca - I get frozen yuca from Publix or Wal-Mart
• bacon
• toothpicks
• guava paste - found in the Hispanic aisle
• water

Boil the yuca for 30 minutes. Let cool and cut into bite size pieces. Wrap half a piece of bacon around it and secure with toothpick. Make as many as you want. Like baking pan with foil and place yuca on it. Bake at 450 for 30 minutes or until bacon is cooked.

Guava Sauce: Use about 1/4 of the guava paste, cut into pieces and melt in saucepan. Add water as needed to desired consistency.
