I froze mine last year - put them in ice-cream containers or a suitable size ready to make jam/chutney or for baking etc

Feijoa jam is not very nice, it can be gritty. I cook and freeze them too.

I bottle them. Soooo yummy to have with breakfast or as dessert with icecream when they are not in season. I peel them (time consuming) or cut them in half and scoop out the flesh if we have loads and either do the hot overn method and that cooks them. Or the overflow method which involves lightly stewing them first and preserving them in the syrup that they have been cooked in. When we had a big freezer, I would stew them and then freeze them in containers. Yes feijoa jam can be gritty. Chutney is nice. Jelly is nice (and pretty) but a bit of a fiddle faddle!

I made this Feijoa and apricot one yesterday, but it is more like jam, it's too sweet. If I make it again I think I will add onions, garlic and some chili maybe.

I cut them up into about 6-8 pieces, do about 4, mix with a tsp of castor sugar, to help prevent browning and straight into a plastic bag, suck out the air with a straw, and straight into freezer, they were delicious6mths later.so very easy peasy.

must be the way you make it . made 200 jars last year, and they were gone in no time, people asked me already if I was going to make more this year. but then I scoop them out and don't use sugar so it tastes just like real feijoa.

also dry them (dehydrator or oven on lowest setting) fruit leathers as said above jams/chutneys/sauces/ or bottle them freeze (I scoop mine and halve them and some blend too)
