- Put feijoas, dates, boiling water, sugar and butter in a saucepan. - Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. - Cool thoroughly then stir in the vanilla and the beaten egg. - Sift together the dry ingredients and very carefully fold into the cooled fruit mixture working just enough to moisten the dry ingredients. - Do not overmix. - Spoon the batter into a well buttered and floured loaf tin (large) and bake 180degC. for 50 to 60 minutes or until tested.

homemade Feijoa Wine, you need: 5kg of feijoas (scoop out the flesh, freeze, thaw then squash it), 6 litres of boiling water and 2 camden tablets (from home brewing stores). Place in a big bucket with a lid and stir twice a day for three days. Then strain into another bucket (cover it with cheesecloth to keep the bugs out) or a large fermenting bin (fitted with an airlock if possible) and add one sachet of wine yeast and 2 teaspoons of yeast nutrients (both from home brewing stores), plus 4kg of sugar and another 2 litres of water. Leave until it stops bubbling... which could be a month, or several. Then bottle.

Little Feijoa and Coconut cakes These are really yummy. 100g butter, softened, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup coconut, 3/4 plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 4 feijoas peeled and sliced. Heat oven to 160 fan bake. Grease muffin tins. In a bowl beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until pale and creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in coconut and flour and bp. Spoon mixture into tins and arrange a few feijoa slices over the surface of each cake. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

fejoa, fiejoa, how many ways can you spell it? (think I only spotted those two spellings) Just a bump for a couple of people looking for ways of preserving/cooking them (and hopefully making it easier for those not sure on the spelling, if they do a search). (and due to the fact it's either in season or just about there) :) I got two off the tree today, but not sure if that was due to me mowing or if they really think they're about ripe.
