Hi Juliewn, I noticed a few pages back that somone mentioned Ballarat (sp? ) apples, there is an orchard in Kaipaki (just out of Cambridge) that sells them, I have brought some off him & bottled them.
I have a huge supply of organic kiwifruit, and would love some tried &tested recipes to use them in. Any ideas anyone? tia

Hi Kami. . is that on the way between Cambridge and Te Awamutu, on the left - an orchard shop? I found some there a few years ago - and would be interested if the place you've written of is on the main highway, as I'm not often driving the road to Te Awamutu - thanks for your help. .
Re Kiwifruit, are you wanting jam, sauce, pickle. . or? recipes. . Let us know so we can help. . also, if you put kiwifruit in the messageboard search bar up on the left of the page here, then change 'last 24 hours' to 'anytime' and search, it'll come up with any thread that has kiwifruit in. . I'll post the link here for you. .

The Orchard is called Kaipaki Orchard & Nursery, it's on Kaipaki Road & is on the corner of Kaipaki Rd & the main rd to Te Awamutu from Cambridge. The guy also sells things on here & his username is alphakno, his stuff is very reasonably priced too :)
For the kiwifruit I was thinking maybe a nice chutney recipe; a friend has a whole heaps of the larger baby food jar & lids for me & I was wanting to make up a heap for christmas pressies, so I then didn't have to worry about it closer to the time. Would a kiwifruit chutney keep long? I guess it would huh. It is so great that we have basically an unlimited supply of kiwifruit, I wanted to make good use of is! I have done the search for kiwifruit & it pretty much only came up with ideas for using it to tenderise meat, & we don't eat that much meat lol

Hi Kamimitchell, I have just picked up the good old Digby Law pickle book (the bible for NZ pickle and chutney makers) and I see 4 recipes listed in the index. There's Kiwifruit and Apple Chutney, Kiwifruit chutney, Pickled Kiwifruit, and Kiwifruit sauce. Can I type one of these up for you, or could you get the book from your library? I'd recommend this book for anyone who likes making chutneys - it has had many reprints, including a recent one.

That's a great idea thanks trah, I am getting my Mum to pick up a copy for me this avo. I have seen this book advertised in the lifestyle block mags, so will be interesting to see what other goodies I can find in there! Thanks again, I'll let you all know how I get on. :)

Hi Pamela. . :-)
Thanks. . nice to see you too. . I've been catching up with the threads. . good too to have recipes be a friendly place once more- and good for you for the stand you took. . I do hope all is well for you.
Hi Kami. . thanks for the info. . I'll check it out when going through there next. .
A friend has been regularly borrowing the Digby Law book, that Trah mentions, from her local library - she's made several pickle and chutney recipes from it now and highly recommends the book.
Yes, a kiwifruit chutney would keep well - and make a great Christmas gift. . Cook the chutney as per the recipe - the vinegar and sugar in a chutney help it to keep well.
I bottle chutney, pickle, jam, etc. . using the pop-top type jars - the same type that hold chutney, jam, etc. . from a supermarket. Your baby food jars will probably have the same pop-top part.
Simmer the tops in boiling water to sterilise them, while you sterilise the jars in the oven. Fill the hot jars to the top with your chutney, wipe around the rim of the jar so that any bits of chutney aren't on there to stop the seal working, then place the hot lid on and tighten. Leave to cool - as it cools, the pop-part will pop down, sealing the jar. You'll hear the popping noise as it seals.
Once cold, wash the outside of the jars, dry or leave to drip dry. Leave on your bench overnight for any moisture left from washing the jars to completely dry, then store the jars filled with your own delicious chutney.
If you need more jars, the pop-top type are usually available at Opp shops for 10c - 50c or so - check the underside of the lid to ensure there's no rust. Or ask friends and family to keep their jars for you if they don't use them.
Finely slice feijoas by hand. Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil and cook very gently for one and a half to two hours, until chutney is thick. Make sure it doesn't catch on the bottom of pot.
I actually made this by microwaving all ings together in my large glass mixing bowl to boiling point, then put it into oven at 150C for four hours, then turned it off and left over night. Gave it a few stirs between times.

Hi. . hope all your harvests went well and there are goodies in your pantry's. .

Hi Jen. I apologise for not replying to your question earlier. the amount of vinegar needed is just to almost cover the ingredients in the pan, once you're ready to start cooking. I hope you see this.

anyone got a nice kiwifruit jam recipe please? Many thanks
juliewn,

Hi. . you can use the jam method I've included for strawberries in post 7 on the first page of this thread - Kiwifruit jam tends to be a bit brownish looking once made - some add a little green food colouring to make it greener in colour.
It tastes delicious on hot scones! :-)
