Oh forgot to say for the juice recipe above that you have to mash the feijoas up with a potato masher after you've scooped them into the bucket.

cont. Lightly grease the base of an ovenproof baking dish.Roughly cop the bananas and feijoas and mix together over the bottom of the dish.Sprinkle over the vanilla seeds or essence, followed by the brown sugar.Cut the butter into small pieces and dot over the fruit.The plan is to leave this aside while you do the crumbleso the juice from the feijoas and brown sugar start to caramelise.
Place the coconut on a baking sheet or into a roasting pan and toast in the oven for about 3 minutes on 180C, until lightly golden.Watch it carefully.Remove and let cool.

cont. In a deep bowl, mix together the flour, oaties and sugars.Add the toasted coconut reserving a little to sprinkle on top later if desired.Cut the butter into rough pieces and rub it into the dry ingredients with the tips of your figures until well mixed in.
Crumble this mixture over the fruit in an even layer then sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut over the top.Bake for about 20 minutes at 180C until you can see the caramel bubbling just under the crumble.Let cool slightly before serving.

Feijoa juice recipe for all you people wanting to know how to make nice feijoa juice. Scoop the flesh out into a sterilized bucket or container until you have about 5 litres worth. Put a teaspoon of pectolase enzyme and a campden tablet in. The pectolase enzyme breaks down the cell walls and destroys the pectin. Pectin is a gelling agent so you don't really want that in your juice. You can get pectolase enzyme from your local brewshop or online here http://www.haurakihomebrew.co.nz/product_info.php!cPath=185_124&products_id=826 Stir it up and leave for between 12 and 24 hours, no longer. Strain the pulp through a fine mesh bag or cheese cloth. Try to get most of the juice out without squeezing the bag because little bits of flesh will get through if you squeeze and will rot. So I usually squeeze the last bit into a glass and drink straight away.

I have frozen blended feijoas, can I use this in cakes or muffins, instead of chopped feijoas!I used to scoop out, blend and freeze as ice cubes or ice blocks for kids. I have too much this time, thought of using it in cakes.

Sorbet not sure if this is a repeat but 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, 2 TBS lemon juice and 1 cup of feijoas. Water and sugar together boil till sugar disolved, let cool. add 1 cup of feijoa puree and lemon juice pour into metal container and freeze till 1/2 frozen, top will look chrystaly. put in food processor and beat till light and fluffy, repeat two times and then freeze in small containers. very rich so you only need a small amount with ice-cream or whatever.

This is an adapted carrot cake [low fat recipe].From a Delia Smith book "How to cook vol 1.' That is not to say it is low in sugar! I don't make it with icing, occasionally dust it with cinnamon. Everyone enthuses each time i make it.
see it online at elsewhere.co.nz recipe thread
We have also just been scooping out the flesh and freezing them - no syrup as in in previous years, works fine. Seems to be a bumper year due to relatively long hot summer.
