With cooler weather coming our way, there is no need to worry about luscious summer fruits. There are more surprises on the way ... Feijoa, Passionfruit, Kaffir Lime, Quince and Persimmon. It's not so tough on me to say goodbye to summer figs when I have ended up with jars full of fig paste, and harvested our kaffir lime already and bought a bag full of feijoas!
Hi, I'm new in NZ, I wonder how's the taste of feijoas and what would you make of it?
ReplyDeleteThey are called pineapple guava grown in the States (California). Semi sweet and tangy. All you have to do is scoop it out and eat it fresh or add them to smoothies. Add sugar to it and simmer it into a thick pulp which you can pour over ice cream or add to cakes to moisten them. You can add the pulp into cake icing too. Add more sugar and simmer it longer for a jam. You can freeze feijoa for summer time. Feijoa and apple crumble is popular too.
