do you peel and freeze them raw or do they need to be cooked and frozen!

I usually just scoop out the flesh, then put into suitable containers and freeze raw. Have had no problems.

Me too!They discolour but then tend to do that anyway.Taste beaut - especially in a apple and feijoa crumble or feijoa cake.

Has anyone tried making Sorbet!Feijoa Sorbet

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 cups of feijoa puree (around 16 large fresh feijoas, peeled)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Place the water & sugar in a pot and boil for 5 minutes until the sugar is all disolved.
Remove from the heat, allow to cool, add the feijoa puree and lemon juice.

Pour into an ice cream machine and churn according to the regular instructions or freeze the sorbet in a large metal bowl or tray that fits into your freezer, until the sorbet has half frozen ( the top will look crystalised ) - this should take around 1 to 3 hours. Using a whisk, or food processor beat the sorbet till light, fluffy and smooth then put back in the freezer. Repeat two more times.
Transfer the sorbet into a smaller container and cover until you're ready to serve.

Heard on the radio that they can be frozen whole.
