Feijoa Jam Recipe

May 17, 2022 By sue Leave a Comment

Whole Feijoa Jam Recipe

Making feijoa jam (and other recipes) is often a fiddly and wasteful process involving scooping out the flesh and throwing away the skins so I was intrigued when I saw a recipe that used the whole fruit. I must admit that I remained very sceptical right until the end of the process as I watched the mixture turn from one very unappetising colour to another. But it did eventually turn out to be a deep orange-brown colour that is actually quite appealing. Although those with feijoa trees are … [Read more...]

Feijoa, Coconut & Lime Muffins

Peel & chop feijoas

If you are fortunate enough to have a feijoa tree in your garden then you are almost certainly looking for lots of recipes for making things with your harvest. Even if your feijoas have got guava moth caterpillars in them, you can still chop up the feijoas and make this Feijoa & Ginger Crumble recipe. It is an autumn stalwart for me and I freeze feijoas to keep making this recipe throughout the winter. Fruit Half fill a deep oven-proof dish with peeled and chopped fresh or frozen … [Read more...]

Feijoa, Date & Ginger Loaf Recipe

Feijoa, Date & Ginger Loaf

If you have a feijoa tree, it can sometimes feel like you are just making a recipe because it is another way to use up more of those feijoas, but I would go out and BUY feijoas to make this Feijoa, Date & Ginger Loaf. It is dark and rich and moist and yummy! I slice it quite thickly and store it in the freezer - and just toast a slice or two in the toaster ready to spread with butter and have with a cup of tea on a cold winter's day. Life has also become a lot easier since I discovered … [Read more...]

Feijoa Cordial Recipe

December 31, 2018 By sue 2 Comments

Feijoa Cordial Recipe

This feijoa cordial recipe is perfect for when you want to enjoy a long cool drink this summer holiday season or want to impress guests with a delicious fruity cocktail. I had been disappointed with a previous fruit cordial attempt with feijoa where I had mixed feijoa and apple - a lovely combination but the pectin in the apple made it into a jelly even though I only just brought it to a boil before bottling it. It hasn't been wasted as I have been mixing it in with yoghurt to give a flavour … [Read more...]

Feijoa & Apple Cordial Recipe

May 10, 2018 By sue Leave a Comment

With food wastage coming to the fore, there is an increasing focus on using as much of our fruits and vegetables as possible so I decided to try making a cordial using feijoa skins.  I kept unblemished feijoa skins where I had scooped out the flesh to eat, and just put them in a bag in the freezer until I had a big bag full. I also used some windfall apples to complete the focus. Usually I don't worry too much about using every part of my produce because more often than not I have a glut and … [Read more...]

Feijoa and Coconut Cake Recipe

Feijoa & Coconut Cake

With feijoa season in full swing it is great to have a selection of different recipes to choose from. I particularly like the addition of the coconut flavour in this Feijoa and Coconut Cake Recipe. The sugar and almonds in place of icing are a nice change too. 175g softened butter 1 C sugar 3 eggs 1 1/2 C flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 C milk 1 1/4 C coconut 5-6 largish feijoas, peeled and diced (approx. 1 – 1 1/2 c) 1/4 C sliced almonds 2 tbsp sugar Lightly grease a 20cm cake tin … [Read more...]

Feijoa & Ginger Jam Recipe

Feijoa & Ginger Jam

This Feijoa & Ginger Jam Recipe is a great way to make use of any "buggy fruit" from your crop. Simply cut out the brown bits and create a delicious treat. Last year sadly I had guava moth infest my feijoa trees for the first time so I'm having to learn to live with having "buggy fruit" until I figure out how to thwart the invading caterpillars. I made my first batch of this feijoa & ginger jam using "buggy fruit" but I forgot to take any pictures whilst making it. My friend Debbie … [Read more...]

Feijoa Paste Recipe

Feijoa Paste served with cheese and crackers

It’s time to get out your favourite feijoa recipes again and to try some new ways of using them. I decided to try this Feijoa Paste Recipe courtesy of Chelsea Sugar and the NZ Gardener magazine. It is not as sweet as I thought it might be and has a rather pleasant tanginess. Feijoa Paste is perfect served with cheese and crackers. Unfortunately for the first time this year I have got guava moth infesting my feijoas so choosing undamaged fruit for cooking (and eating) is becoming more … [Read more...]

Making Feijoa Wine

August 25, 2016 By sue 18 Comments

I had a large quantity of feijoas that I didn't want to waste and decided to try making feijoa wine using a simple recipe. A friend dropped a big bag of feijoas on my doorstep hoping I could do something with them so that they didn't go to waste. I had just been making some wine from surplus eating grapes from my garden, so thought that I'd try making some feijoa wine. The recipe I had from makewine.co.nz is suitable for all fruit wines and I blended this with another recipe I found. Juice … [Read more...]
