Bought them Paora! Would love to have a tree or two but I haven't got room. Any savoury ideas out there other than chutney?

Quotewinnie231 (145 ) 11:07 am, Sat 31 Mar #4 Also some recipes say to seal when cold. hot or cold , which is best? thanks:)
Quotesarah1955 (562 ) 12:41 pm, Sat 31 Mar #5 I seal all my jams, pickles, chutneys and other preserves hot, that way as they cool the seal sets, you can hear the seal pop, and this means they are airtight should not go mouldy. My feijoa recipe says to peel the skins but leave some peel on. hard to describe but I peel them so they are striped.
Quotecgvl (22 ) 12:48 pm, Sat 31 Mar #6 thanks. Did not peel them and they are cooking down nicely. An hour from now will be all done. I will seal while hot .
