Jealous! I am so jealous of you all! I love fijoas, even the smell makes my mouth water. But down here they are SO expensive and i think they loose a bit of their flavour after being shipped aroound the country. Enjoy peoples!!

Just bumping this thread, unsure on time now allowed for threads to be kept.

Currently with some, now over 10 days and still being increased.

Being watchful all the same.

Cheers.

poor sis in brisbane, is so hanging out for some. wonder if i could send her some. LOL....

fejoa, fiejoa, how many ways can you spell it? (think I only spotted those two spellings)
Just a bump for a couple of people looking for ways of preserving/cooking them (and hopefully making it easier for those not sure on the spelling, if they do a search). (and due to the fact it's either in season or just about there) :)
I got two off the tree today, but not sure if that was due to me mowing or if they really think they're about ripe.

bumping to the top for all those Feijoa fiends

dollylops - 2010-04-25 08:08:00

Another Feijoa fiend here!..This thread is great!
just moved into our new home to find 3 Feijoa trees out the back! YUMMO!, now I'm overloaded with them and collecting bags full every day (and also sneaking next door cos my neighbour doesn't seem to be eating them and they are everywhere and being run over by his car EEEKK!! (waste not, want not!), going to start freezing some now I know how, and filling the freezer with cakes and muffins, and then bulk making chutney and jam to give a way or sell.

popelka1 - 2010-04-28 12:36:00

Feijoa upside-down tart (borrowed from www.stuff.co.nz website)

This baked dessert, created by Virginia McGregor for the New Zealand Feijoa Growers Association, is easy to make and startlingly good to eat. Serves 6-8.

50g butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp golden syrup
7-8 large ripe feijoas, peeled and cut in half lengthways
400g sweet short pastry
Heat oven to 200deg C. Melt butter, sugar, golden syrup together in a pan. Pour mixture into a 23cm round cake pan. Arrange feijoa halves over the mixture.
Roll pastry out in a circle to cover fruit. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is golden. Remove and stand 10 minutes.
Hold a large plate over the top of the pan and turn upside down so the pastry is on the base of the serving dish. Cut tart into wedges and serve warm.

Just found this thread but haven't got time to read through the whole thing to see if anyone can suggest the best feijoa tree for the Manawatu region. Hubby and daughter love feijoas I hate them so we've decided to plant a couple or 3 trees on our lifestyle block, anyone have any suggestions of best variety for this area and where's the best place to attain said variety specimen plant? Next month my son and his g/f and my grand daughter are coming to stay for her 1st birthday and as I have her placenta in my freezer awaiting to be planted under a tree I thought why not the feijoa tree. I know I know probably too gross for some of you lol
