Can you really freeze them whole??? In previous years I've laboriously scooped and added sugar as sson as peeped, and frozen in plastic bags...would be wonderful if they froze whole....I use "stewed" feijoas twith roast pork, or on the side with pork chops!! YUUUMMMMM!!! devalois

Yes, wash and freeze free flow. You can pop them in blender as is frozen to add with bananaand other fruit ( optional) for cereal - drink smoothy, absolutely delicious.

My favorite jam is feijoa jam, but when I make it I only use the inside, by cutting the fruit in half and scooping out the inside only.I then add sweet navel orange juice, partly to stop the fruit going brown and also to add a wonderful golden colour and flavour to the jam.I boil the pulp in a large saucepan (no water added) including the juice of about 3sweet navel orangesincluding the rind till it all falls apart (I do help it by using a potato masher to break up the pieces by hand, not a blender though). Once it has all broken down into the consistency you want then add the equivalent weight in sugar and boil till ready to pour into jars as per normal.The jam tastes like golden feijoa jam - sweet and apricotty, I guess a little bit like orange marmalade and jeijoa jam blended together, just delicious.
Cheers

Just found this thread but haven't got time to read through the whole thing to see if anyone can suggest the best feijoa tree for the Manawatu region. Hubby and daughter love feijoas I hate them so we've decided to plant a couple or 3 trees on our lifestyle block, anyone have any suggestions of best variety for this area and where's the best place to attain said variety specimen plant?Next month my son and his g/f and my grand daughter are coming to stay for her 1st birthday and as I have her placenta in my freezer awaiting to be planted under a tree I thought why not the feijoa tree.I know I know probably too gross for some of you lol
