Hey Hey , I must apologise for being slack, life got in the way and I ended up making a few trips to hospital with one of the childebeast's...........
I have been on break from school so instead of studying like I should of been I have been making stuff, we ended up with a surplus of feijoa's because the in-laws have a big bush. I am not a fan of eating feijoas but I really like their citrussy floral scent so I am guilty of letting them sit in the fruit bowl for a bit to long just so I can sit and sniff them.
This year I thought I better not do that so me and the big childebeast made this incredibly easy icecream and for the rest I made Feijoa Jam or Jelly. I am fairly confident that it is paleo OK, please set me straight if I am wrong, but heres the recipe.
Feijoa Jam
1.5 kgs Feijoa Flesh 1 Tablespoon Coconut Sugar
1-2 Tablespoon Grass Fed Gelatin
So this is really basic scoop all the inside of the feijoas out in to a big saucepan, sprinkle the sugar over the fruit. Bring to the boil and let bubble away for 5ish minutes. If you like chunkier jam add the gelatin now and stir through well, then let cool slightly before pouring in to sterilised jars. You will get about 2 jars full.
.......
If you are like me and DONT like chunky jam once I had finished boiling it I added the gelatin and then blitzed it to a smooth consistency before jarring up.
Keep this in the fridge and it will last about a month.
I tried a little bit of this , which is a big deal for a non feijoa eater, and I thought it was yum. Asked the 5 year old if he liked it and he told me it tasted liked bread?!?!?!
