Feijoa Jam

1 kg Feijoas
¼ cup water
4 cups sugar

Method

Peel and slice feijoas, add water and boil gently until soft. Stir in sugar and boil hard for 5-10 minutes, or until a drop popped onto a saucer jells. Feijoas are high in pectin so this happens quickly.
Immediately pour into heated jars and seal.

We are reduced to buying our feijoas in bulk now from an orchard near Matamata.
We LOVE them stewed on our breakfast cerea,

we started off scooping the flesh. then tried peeling them, then last year we left the skins on before cooking. They are different in flavour, but still have that yummy taste.
This year we topped and tailed them and put them straight in the freezer in S/market bags. Hope we haven't made the biggest mistake in history. $60 worth so far and going back for more.

Anyone near enough to Matamata, google Southern Belle Feijoas.

my 10 year old daughter goggle coconut and feijoa cake which she made was very easy and a lovely moist cake

bev00, Apr 23, 4:32am
Try this Feijoa & Coconut Cake. it is delicious.
4 eggs
150g butter softened
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
2 cups desiccated coconut or 1 cup ground almonds
2 cups self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup yoghurt or sour cream
1 1/2 cups sliced feijoas, plus 1/2 cup more for the top
Separate eggs and beat whites until they form soft peaks. Soften butter and beat with caster sugar until creamy. Add yolks one at a time beating between, then fold in self-raising flour, coconut (or ground almonds) and baking powder. Then gently stir in milk and plain yoghurt. Fold in beaten egg whites and the 1 ½ cups of sliced feijoas.
Place extra feijoa slices on top to decorate before baking @ 150c for 1 to 1 ¼ hours in a reasonably shallow dish. Serve warm as a dessert.

I thought the idea of feijoa and vanilla together (jelly thread) sounded great so tonight I am experimenting with grated feijoa and vanilla extract in our porridge for tomorrow. I'll let you know how it tastes in the morning.

korbo, Apr 23, 4:39am
just made the jelly it is devine .cant wait until breakfast to have it on my toast, but the way i feel right now, will be cooking a bit of toast for supper.yummmo

norse_westie, Apr 23, 9:58pm
Well the porridge was a great success. All the kids loved it. Personally I prefer apple and cinnamon but thats more to with texture than taste. We will be having it again.
