FEIJOAS.......FEIJOA JAM

Thank you Robyn Grigoleit for your generous offer of feijoas . I love feIjoas , my son Dale gifted me a feijoa plant 12 months ago and it is growing well. A bowl of feijoas on your kitchen bench releases a wonderful aroma . FeIjoas are unassuming in appearance but they make a wonderful jam and also a flavoursome chutney . Chop and peel 1.5 kg of feijoas , place in a saucepan with the juice of 2 lemons and simmer for 25 minutes or until the feijoas are tender . Add 1.25 kg of castor sugar , increase the heat to medium and stir until the sugar is dissolved . Bring to a slow boil , until setting point is reached ( thickened ). Pour into jars and seal immediately . This jam does not need to sit , you eat it immediately .
