| 57 | Yummm Jill.. that sounds good.. :-) I have a feeling it would be good too if caramelised sweetened condensed milk was poured over the fruit before baking.. to make a type of banofee pie creation.. Bake as per your recipe, and serve hot or leave to cool and serve warm or cold. Place some pecans or walnuts into the caramel filling part if you want - they'll give a lovely flavour and counteract the sweetness a bit. juliewn - 2008-04-03 01:17:00 |
| 58 | Caramel Sweetened Condensed Milk can be purchased.. however it's much nicer when caramelised ourselves. Remove the label of a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk, and place the whole unopened can into a pot and cover with cold water. Bring slowly to a simmer, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove and leave the tin in the water to cool slowly. Don't open it while hot as the milk will be pressurised and likely to spurt everywhere. Once cold it can be kept - unopened - in the fridge until needed. Doing this for two cans at a time, means there's some ready to use in the fridge.. juliewn - 2008-04-03 01:18:00 |

| 62 | Yes.. when they fall off the tree.. however I have been known to give a branch a light shake or two!! hehehe juliewn - 2008-04-04 00:54:00 |
| 63 | Fejoas, custard and whipped cream Combined makes a very nice cold pudding, my Mum made it years ago for the family. Most of us still make it for our families now. My 20month old would eat it by the bowl ful if I let him. 34tim - 2008-04-04 22:46:00 |
| 64 | Oh im so glad we found this thread we have 6 trees plus the neighbours (that they keep begging us to clear their fruit from. We have hundreds of them and even the kids are begining to go off them and we have 5 kids who have been scoffing them for the last few weeks. I need to get rid of kilos (have probably 10 full supermarket bags at the moment). Im going to go and buy some preserving jars (the 1ltr ones or bigger) to try and salvage what we have and give away what i cant use. shyly - 2008-04-05 12:46:00 |

| 66 | Yum I love Feijoas Bumping for Feijoas, does any one know why you can buy Feijoa wine by vineyard called Lorithin near puhoi in Auckland? croaks - 2008-04-06 19:20:00 |
| 67 | Feijoa, Banana and Toasted Coconut Caramel Crumble 3-4 large bananas For the Crumble noelinevc - 2008-04-07 16:14:00 |
| 68 | cont..... Lightly grease the base of an ovenproof baking dish. Roughly cop the bananas and feijoas and mix together over the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle over the vanilla seeds or essence, followed by the brown sugar. Cut the butter into small pieces and dot over the fruit. The plan is to leave this aside while you do the crumble so the juice from the feijoas and brown sugar start to caramelise. Place the coconut on a baking sheet or into a roasting pan and toast in the oven for about 3 minutes on 180C, until lightly golden. Watch it carefully. Remove and let cool. noelinevc - 2008-04-07 16:15:00 |
| 69 | cont..... In a deep bowl, mix together the flour, oaties and sugars. Add the toasted coconut reserving a little to sprinkle on top later if desired. Cut the butter into rough pieces and rub it into the dry ingredients with the tips of your figures until well mixed in. Crumble this mixture over the fruit in an even layer then sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180C until you can see the caramel bubbling just under the crumble. Let cool slightly before serving. noelinevc - 2008-04-07 16:16:00 |

| 71 | I have frozen blended feijoas, can I use this in cakes or muffins, instead of chopped feijoas? I used to scoop out, blend and freeze as ice cubes or ice blocks for kids. I have too much this time, thought of using it in cakes. cheras - 2008-04-08 14:39:00 |

| 79 | Tjis probably sounds stupid... but when a feijoa recipe calls for them to be peeled and chopped. Does that mean peel the skins off or scoop out the flesh. Major difference and it is a little confusing. zambesi2 - 2008-04-13 13:42:00 |

| 85 | Feijoas in Dunedin When I lived in Dunedin we would sometimes walk around the student 'ghetto' and find boxes of feijoas that people's well meaning family had sent from up north rotting on the footpath. I guess they were not feijoa fans, and dumped them out for rubbish collection. Just scooped some into a shopping bag and scamper away. Watch out for broken glass. annafin - 2008-04-16 11:56:00 |

| 93 | If you've got too many and there is not enough.. ...room in the freezer - preserve them. Peel the skins from their little bodies, and pack into preserving jars. Make a light syrup - 3 parts water to one part sugar, boil in a pan. Pour over Joas in the Jar, and boil the jar with the screw top lid and cap thing in a pan with the water 2/3rds up the bottle. When the syrup starts to bubble in the jar (about 20-30 mintues) they are ready. They'll turn slightly brownish/green but thats o.k. Don't overdo them as they will turn to mush and that is not fair on them. Remove and cool on the bench. Make sure that the preserving cap thingy is tight after removing the ring. Hope that makes sense. These are DELISH. camenymcvertt - 2008-04-22 21:48:00 |
