Here is something I made with the delicious feijoas from my backyard tree! If you have some feijoas that you don’t know what to do with, perhaps give this recipe a go!

Recipe: Feijoa and Apple Crumble

Ingredients:

  • 3 small apples

  • 1/2 orange, juiced
  • 1 heaped tbsp. coconut/rapadura sugar
  • 1 tsp. mixed spice
Crumble ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 4 tbsp. rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp. mixed spice

  3. Peel the feijoas (discarding the peels), then cut up the flesh into similarly sized pieces.
  4. Add the fruit to a pot with the orange juice, sugar and sultanas and cook for about 5 minutes on medium-low or until softened. Take off the heat and stir in the spice. Divide the fruit into a few ramekin containers.

Love version 2.0 with the macadamias! My absolute achilles of all nuts. Unfortunately oats give me a belly ache, so happy for the alternative!

Hi Michelle,
Oh, how timely! We were given some feijoas recently. They were eaten up so quickly- nothing left to make into ‘recipes’!!

I understand how they can be eaten up so quickly, feijoas are so yummy! By the way, I just forwarded someone your details for some kefir grains.
