bumping for those looking and note the link to the other site. Check for muffin recipes as well, use in place of/or with apple in sponge pudding and crumbles pies. They also freeze, Prepare a light syrup and chill it then peel and cut in fresh feijoas and freeze in suitable containers. If they are peeled they seem to need the syrup to stop them drying out and going brown.

Our firm favourite Toadies Fejoa Loaf
Bring to the boil & then simmer for 5mins the followingr...
1 cup chopped Fejoas. (I scoop out the flesh and press into a measuring cup and then when full chop up), 1 cup Water, 1 cup sugar (I have used ¾ Cup and turned out OK), 50grams butter.
Let cool then add:
2 cups flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon of Baking soda , 1 egg.
Mix well.
This makes 1 loaf.
Bake at 170 degrees for 50 mins or until skewer comes out clean.
I always make 2 loaves at a time, it freezes well and for lunches you can cut a slice off a frozen loaf and by morning tea its defrosted fresh and yummy.

best fruit tree ever ... ... You've got to try the wine. Home made it is perfect and quite delicious. Nice stewed with apples in a simple pie (add sugar and a little cinnamon). I have a very small section (coastal) and have planted about ten trees, as they provide coastal shelter and food. PS: They do not like their roots disturbed so don't dig around the base of a tree. Most types self fertile. Water during dry spells. A great tree, so their is no need for people to go hungry when there are so many plants that are easy to grow food with. Plant one now! !

if you're using feijoas in cooking (such as muffins etc), do you need to wait until the fruit falls to the ground to use them? so that they're sweet enough?

Hi Hartbrake. . sorry! ... I hope there are lots of other delicious fruits you can enjoy. .

Hi Rab... yes the skins do soften when cooked... ... however I've found that the skins cause a bitterness to anything they're left in, from bottled feijoa's to chutney's, pie's, muffins etc. I always peel them and find I get a nicer feijoa flavour than when the skins are left on.
