Will add this recipe here as well seeing that it has Feijoa in it....

Feijoa and Blackberry Crumble

blackberries 1 cup fresh or frozen
liquid honey 2 tablespoons
orange zest of ½
Juice of an orange
brown sugar ½ cup
fine rolled oats ¾ cup
ground almonds ¾ cup
butter 50g, diced
ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
baking powder 1 teaspoon
salt pinch of

Preheat oven to 180 degC/355 Fahrenheit.
Combine feijoas, blackberries, honey, orange zest and juice
in a medium-sized baking dish.
Combine brown sugar, rolled oats, ground almonds, butter,
cinnamon powder, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Rub the butter into the mixture with your finger tips, until it resembles breadcrumbs. Spoon crumble topping over the feijoa blackberry mixture.

aswift Hi. I contacted NZ Post Couriers today and it was very expensive to get fejoas to Wellington from Napier. I gave up after the first courier which was wrong. I will try again tomorrow. Cheers.

Bumping for post 391 - Feijoa Paste

valentino - 2016-03-24 17:14:00

I preserved some by bottling last year simply because my freezer was chokka ...stewed, added sugar to taste & it was lovely to have them out of season.

samanya - 2016-03-24 17:59:00

I ate my first one of the season yesterday - was out walking the dog and saw some laying on the ground up the road. Stopped and had a wee munch. Was yummy.........

There are tons of trees around here and most seem to be the early bird variety. Feijoa for brekky, feijoa for lunch, feijoa for pudding...........actually I don't eat huge amounts of fruit; no where near what I used to however I will make the most of them.

awoftam - 2016-03-24 19:43:00

Interesting recipes especially that Meringue Cake...

Valentino, thank you for sharing that link, lots of great recipes in there. I was just looking at my Feijoa tree today and wondering what I would do with the fruit this year. Now waiting of the glut on the lawn to give some of the recipes a try.

Thank you, I've only looked through half of them so far and I'm quite impressed, will try a few myself.

Cheers
