Hi, we also have a huge amount of kiwifruit atm, I am going to dehydrate a heap tomorrow, planning on making a kiwifruit relish soon, & will preserve some too. I am looking into doing glace kiwifruit too, just need to find a recipe that I am happy with. Am also looking for a yummy kiwifruit sorbet recipe too! The zespri website has a lot of recipes as well. I have also given heaps away!

I have pureed some and put into freezer to be used for pudding toppings e. g over icecream or homemade cheesecakes. Also handy for homemade cocktails or with lemonade and icecream drinks.

My mum used to make a Kiwifruit relish like that - very, very nice (especially spread on your cheese on toast! ).

Kamitchell cool thanks heaps for that am going to give it a try shortly if the kids let me :) i was going to make the relish off the zespri site but didnt have red wine vinegar so didnt but am making kiwifruit jam at the mo. and have preserved manderines, pears, apples and feijoas today... . they look great but one of the jars didnt seal? what do i do lol think i shall ring grandma she will know :) also my kiwi fruit are still quite firm... can i preserve them or wait till they are softer? sorry about all the questions im new at this... . :)

Sounds like you've been busy today! for the jar that didnt seal, just put it back in a pot & bring it to the boil again, then re-bottle & seal again (all clean & new ofcourse). I noticed that the recipes on the zespri website didnt have very long shelf life, so that put me off them. I am going to make more of the relish tomorrow once I have brought more of the spices hehe. For the hardish kiwifruit, you can put it in a plastic bag with an apple or banana & that will ripen it up. I wouldn't use rockhard kiwis for cooking, but firm should be ok. Good luck :)

Well I have tried the relish with cheese & crackers, and it is delicious! ! Pretty sweet (with 2 cups of sugar, Duh! ), but really yummy! I will be making more tomorrow after I have restocked my spices hehehe
