Are they quite light in texture, or are they weighty?

Mine would have been ready in Auckland by March/April but down here with the temps, they mature later.

cookessentials... do you have sheep in with your trees? The reason I ask is because ours were late this year, and we couldn't figure it out. Everyone was picking their feijoas and we had none.
Hubby moved the sheep to another paddock, and guess what... ... we now have bucket loads of feijoas LOL... little buggers were eating them. Just put two of them in the freezer last weekend, so hopefully they should taste good.

Light and moist like a banana cake texture. They were devine. I added the extra milk because it is so dry here and the feijoa are a bit dry and hard. Think it has been such a dry season and that is why they are a bit late. Ours are usually full on and just melt in the mouth. I chopped mine up because you just would not really be able to mash them easily. Might make more today

No we dont jag5. I have noticed that the further South you are the later the ripening. I must go and check them to see how far away they are before the birds figure it out.

hahahaha I did that the other day when making louise cake, and thought I'm sure the base should be this dry, but carried on anyway, spread jam carefully over the base and then went to turn on combi oven before whisking the whites and there was my 2nd amount ofmelted butter. Tipped it over the jam and then continued, no one noticed anything, base came out fine.

I work down the road grading feijoas, so get plenty. Can I replace the butter with oil? And if so how much? TIA

These really are tasty I cooked them for between 15 - 20 mins and wasn't sure whether they should be at 180 or 200- still turned out lovely. So what temp and for how long are others cooking, also fan bake or not?
