bump I have a bumper crop this year . the local kids are already starting to get tired of them.
I need easy recipes for relish, jam, or any other ways I can preserve them for friends and family.

... FEIJOA JAM - Top and tail feijoas, leave the peel on the sides and slice fruit. Weigh how much you have got and use the same amount of sugar and the juice of 2 to 3 lemons to help it set. I usually put the fruit on with the lemon juice and a bit of sugar on very low heat to get the juices out. Then I raise the heat while stirring to boil some of the liquid off before putting the rest of the sugar in. Very easy and always keeps well.

use the above recipes and add some ginger or some crushed pineapple. Feijoas jam can be made using peeled or un-peeled fruit and they are different.

... FEIJOA DESSERT - 12 feijoas, 1/4 cup crushed pineapple (and the juice), 3 Tbsp brown sugar, 2 Tbsp rum (optional), vanilla ice cream to serve. Scoop the pulp out of the feijoas and put into a microwave-proof casserole dish, add pineapple and stir gently. Sprinkle the brown sugar on the top, and, if you're using rum, sprinkle that on as well. Stir gently (again). Cook in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, and then stir (again! ! ). Serve over scoops of ice cream. This is very simple and quick, and tastes delicious
