I have a feijoa tree and a whole lot of fruit on the ground. I heard that stewed feijoa on weetbix is really yummy but I've never made it or eaten it myself. Could someone please point me to a simple recipe? Thanks very much.

You can use any recipe for apples, just substitute them with your feijoas.

let me admit how ignorant I am. I don't know when feijoas are ripe. Do I peel them? When/how do I cook them? I haven't stewed apples before either. **shrinks**

Oh now I feel like an idiot for not searching for feijoa in this section. Thank you very much. I just don't want to get it wrong and waste them. I have well over 70 of them on my back porch that I got of the ground and there are still lots on the tree.

_heleni_, there's no need to "feel like an idiot for not searching for feijoa in this section" before you asked for help - you are by no means the first who has posted a request before doing a search. I hope that those links help you and how I envy you for having all those feijoas which are not all that plentiful further south although admittedly they are on special at the moment at ? ? $3. 95/Kg (if I remember rightly). :-))

heleni, Feijoas are ripe when they fall from the tree, best when they are slightly soft when you squeeze them. I just cut them in half and scoop out the flesh. A friend of mine had a Feijoa orchard a few years ago and she told me you can substitute any apple recipe for Feijoas.

Also, if you have used a recipe or see recipe you like that has banana in it, you can substitue feijoa for banana... .

Process butter & sugar until creamy. Add syrup and egg, beat well. Mix b/soda in water and add to mixture and mix. Add flour, b/powder, orange rind and feijoa pulp and mix lightly. Put into prepd cake pan and bake @ 180C for 40 mins. Dissolve b/sugar in orange juice and spoon over cake after 40 mins baking, return to oven and bake a further 15 mins. I usually bake this in a 20cm ring pan or sometimes in swiss roll tin and then cut into squares.
