Our firm favourite Toadies Fejoa Loaf

Bring to the boil & then simmer for 5mins the followingr...

1 cup chopped Fejoas. (I scoop out the flesh and press into a measuring cup and then when full chop up),
1 cup Water,
1 cup sugar (I have used ¾ Cup and turned out OK),
50grams butter.

Let cool then add:

2 cups flour,
1 tsp Baking Powder,
1 teaspoon of Baking soda ,
1 egg.

Mix well.

This makes 1 loaf.

Bake at 170 degrees for 50 mins or until skewer comes out clean.

I always make 2 loaves at a time, it freezes well and for lunches you can cut a slice off a frozen loaf and by morning tea its defrosted fresh and yummy.

toadfish - 2009-03-23 18:21:00

I Have all the Fejoas in a bowl on the bench and when they get to soft to eat I scoop them out chop them up and freeze them in 1 cup lots, flat in snaplock bags... then whe I want to make a loaf I kust pop the fejoas in the saucepan and bring to the boil as per recipe... so quick, easy and delicious to make.

toadfish - 2009-03-23 18:23:00

Their starting to fall. Can't wait to make fruit crumbles. We have about 30 fall off our tree every day

lovemydog - 2009-03-23 18:32:00

if you're using feijoas in cooking (such as muffins etc), do you need to wait until the fruit falls to the ground to use them? so that they're sweet enough?

morrello1 - 2009-03-25 19:56:00

bumping ... That time is upon us again.Can't stand eating them fresh myself but isn't it funny, as I will eat them in muffins, loaves, sauce etc....they just taste different and no "stink" either .Don't like the smell of them ! :)

From Laurel Watson on Good Morning
Feijoa and Date Loaf

1 cup peeled, diced feijoa
100g dates, roughly chopped
250ml boiling water
230g sugar
50g butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg, beaten
270g flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

- Put feijoas, dates, boiling water, sugar and butter in a saucepan.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Cool thoroughly then stir in the vanilla and the beaten egg.
- Sift together the dry ingredients and very carefully fold into the cooled fruit mixture working just enough to moisten the dry ingredients.
- Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into a well buttered and floured loaf tin (large) and bake 180degC. for 50 to 60 minutes or until tested.

homemade Feijoa Wine, you need: 5kg of feijoas (scoop out the flesh, freeze, thaw then squash it), 6 litres of boiling water and 2 camden tablets (from home brewing stores). Place in a big bucket with a lid and stir twice a day for three days. Then strain into another bucket (cover it with cheesecloth to keep the bugs out) or a large fermenting bin (fitted with an airlock if possible) and add one sachet of wine yeast and 2 teaspoons of yeast nutrients (both from home brewing stores), plus 4kg of sugar and another 2 litres of water. Leave until it stops bubbling... which could be a month, or several. Then bottle.
