do you use ripe or unripe feijoas to make the jam.

I use a mix of both, very ripe fruit will not have enough pectin in it to help with the setting of the jam. I use about half and half of very ripe and unripe feijoa's.

I use any that i can get my hands on. Use only 20% soar or no sugar but add petting stock/powder. I posted recipe few weeks ago.

There is a lot of variation among feijoas and I reckon some trees are just like that (rather like Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em!) - gritty, I mean.
We cook all sages and sizes of feijoas with sugar,preserved ginger pieces and a squeeze of lemon juice and make nice jam. Some batches are runnier than others - if this happens, just change the name and call it "conserve" or "ice cream sauce", as people are not as judgemental about "conserves", the name confuses them. Tee hee.
One thing is, I am too lazy to peel the little perishers so I just cut and scoop, when they are good and ripe. This works well.

I just topped and tailed mine and whizzed them skin and all. I used crystalized ginger in it as well and it was yum

Interesting you say some batches set better than others - I tried to make some feijoa paste yesterday( to have with cheese) but it just didn't get thick enough. In the end I think I over cooked it - sort of caramelly colour instead of pinky.Had made quince paste day b4 in crockpot & was perfect.
