yummy. I just make like any other jam- equal quantities fruit and sugar

shockingly gritty...Had it as a child, and never wasted my sugar or time making it.

really nice if you add ginger to it and use a little less sugar. 1.5kg fejoa's peeled and cut up. bring to boil and then down to a fast simmer until fruit soft. If you want a smoothish jam mash the fruit. add a packet of preserved ginger chopped and 1.25kg sugar. and the juice of 1-2 lemons bring back to boil and keep at a rolling boil until tested it will set. stir at regular intervals to stop it burning. Bottle in clean, sterilised, hot jars and seal.

If you like feijoas you will probably like it, but as pickles says, it's gritty - that's probably because feijoas are gritty which is why I don't like them. Oh yeah, I'm not keen on the flavour of them either.

My 4 year old can't get enough of it a great way of using them up

Feijoa and Guava Jelly is nice, strain through a muslin cloth and you don't get the griity texture.

It's not very colourful, as feijoas have a habit of going khaki when cooked. However if you add enough chopped ginger, it browns up to a richer colour. I can sometimes find packets of non-sugary ginger for cooking, ie preserved in syrup, and that works well. I think the taste is delicious, and when I do a devonshire tea for visitors the feijoa and ginger jam always disappears fast.
