They keep better if picked from the bush rather than let drop. If you just gently touch them the ready ones will come away in one's hand.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-71510055382778084212010-04-24T11:03:50.824+12:002010-04-24T11:03:50.824+12:00I always felt Feijoas taste rather like fruit sala...I always felt Feijoas taste rather like fruit salad. <br />We never see them in the shops here, they don't travel well, I guess, & possibly dont keep either, as I seem to remember once the were ripe they were best eaten sooner rather than later. <br />On my last travels round the Nth Is with my brother someone gave us a huge bag of Feijoas. Travelling in the hot vehicle did not keep them well, and I have the feeling we 'forgot' them in some motel along the way.Meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074676856646898900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-13548200343044952542010-04-24T05:12:58.209+12:002010-04-24T05:12:58.209+12:00I miss feijoas.

Can't win.<br />Do you dehydrate them? My friend does this and they make mighty yummy snacks for later in the year!<br />Carole :)carole brungarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762942808546867333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-84250764065027639002010-04-23T00:26:20.272+12:002010-04-23T00:26:20.272+12:00Feijoa's are one of the things I miss the most...Feijoa's are one of the things I miss the most about living in NZ, fits into that 'best things in life are free' line, with memories of sitting under a backyard feijoa bush. Feijoa vodka will get someone by abroad but it must have been 4 years since I've had a fresh one. Shame they won't get through customs, otherwise I could help you out with your abundance of deliciousness...notHamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338159073997594620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26067482.post-53083021308929519562010-04-23T00:18:51.628+12:002010-04-23T00:18:51.628+12:00Very interesting!

I hope the jam is good -- most anything is, when it's combined with enough sugar! ;-)Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.com
