I just read in another thread a lady cuts in half, scoops out flesh and free flow freezes to use in baking etc later. So, yes. Someone on here does it.

Can also leave them whole and just chuck in a bag and freeze.
I have a cake/loaf recipe where you mix up the wet ingredients including the feijoas and freeze that. then defrost when you want to make a cake etc.
I like to bottle them. yummy through the winter as a dessert

I know my mother simply scoops them out and freezes them just like that.

I peel them and free flow freeze them whole. Also scoop the flesh out, and puree them, great for baking.

Yes you can, I do it every year, I scoop out the flesh, put into ziplock bags (in manageable portions) and freeze.

One year I scooped them out into glass jars, then froze them in the jars. It worked well and they stayed in good condition for 6 mths. It's helpful to measure 500g lots so for baking/recipes you know how much you have. Another option is scoop, cook gently with some added sugar or stevia, then freeze for desserts, bakig, breakfast etc.

I freeze or stew and preserve, never add any sugar or anything though as they're sweet enough. Frozen they're good to stick in the food processor and make instant, healthy "ice cream".
