We’ve been getting about 8 to 10 dropping everyday, plus some that people have been giving away. Three of us are eating them every night, but we still have two big bowls full!

If you're tired of feijoas you're tired of life.

In muffins

Stewed with icecream

Smoothies

I might be a little tired of life... smoothies sounds like the least effort, so just have to think what other ingredients will go well with it now

My wife does the stewing thing. The trick is that you stew so many you haven't eaten them by the time the next fejoa season comes around, then you stew some more. Repeat each year.

Feijoa jam time.

[–] liv@lemmy.nz 3 points 7 months ago

Pear and banana. There's something about brown skinned pears with feijoa that just works.

I haven't checked my tree for a while actually.

Uh oh, you better watch out for those feijoa-stealing whores!

[–] AWOL_muppet@lemmy.nz 4 points 7 months ago

I'll take some!

We’ve got lots as well. Looking at how to use them in other dishes, I found a Herald article - "24 Feijoa Recipes".

It’s an archive link to skip the "pay-for" - https://archive.ph/TzMXj

Your comment didn’t show up until now, I’m guessing due to the federation delays with lemmy.world. In any case is the link still working for you? Doesn’t seem to load for me

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It works for me, BUT I need a VPN enabled to read it. The Herald link is a "pay to view" article which the Archive link bypasses. If you don’t have a VPN, take a Google for "Feijoa cake recipes", there’s lots of links to different sites.

Baked some Feijoa cup-cakes today, came out great. Not overly sweet but really yummy.

For the record, the link works for me without a VPN.

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Archive system changes often. Until a few weeks ago, I too could open them without a VPN, but now I need it enabled to do so. 🤷

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Strange! Is archive.ph related to archive.org?

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yes, the Archives are all part of the Wayback machine. I don’t fully understand how it’s all linked and why they have a number of different name extensions.

I moved to Australia years ago and I still feel the pain of missing feijoas. They exist here but not in a huge quantity like in NZ. Enjoy your harvest! 🤤

I didn't even realize it was feijoa season until I went into the office earlier this week, and it seemed every other person had a bag full of em on their desk lol.

Went over to mum's earlier today, and she gave us some as well 😆
