(Feijoas fruited here in Australia in May. I originally put it in large jars! Chopped up the Feijoa finely just under half a jar, topped with cheap Vodka & sugar water syrup! Left for 3 months & then bottled! A few years ago the first batch i ever made i left for 6 weeks, it was nice but flavour not strong enough so the last few batches i have made have left for 3 months to soak then bottle (stain fruit out) & leave for another 2 months before drinking! Yum

Lots of amazing and mouth-watering pictures. I’ve never heard of this fruit before, sounds really interesting.

Elisefey, thank you. You are a lucky girl ! I dream to have a feijoa tree…

Alessandra, thank you. I only can confirm your words ! ;)

I love Feijoias, especially the fragrance. When I smell a feijoa i feel better, it works like aromatherapy…

We have a feijoa tree in the front yard and I’ve often wondered if there was something that could be done with them other than eating raw as they fall faster than we can consume them. Thanks for the recipe!

The fruit when riped is sweet, a bit tangy, juicy with a texture slightly grainy. But for an accurate description go and check Wikipedia

Bron, now almost the end of the season…sigh :(
I should freeze some !

Le fruit à maturité reste vert. Il est sucré et légèrement acidulé. J’ai un peu de mal à le comparer au goût d’un autre fruit (surement à cause de son arôme prononcé). Je sais ça n’aide pas beaucoup, le mieux c’est de l’essayer !

Sylvie
You surely can have one in pot. I saw some at a garden
centre here (with fruits on it !!).
Don’t be modest, you are a plant guru with a big green thumb !! ;)

Feijoa seems to be available in the US, but Wisconsin is might be to much North for this subtropical tree…

Je suis curieuse de connaitre son goût!

I’m fairly certain feijoas aren’t available in the states – at least not in Wisconsin… bummer for us. I’d love to try it some day!

Cheers,
