You could use this flavoursome jelly to glaze fruit tarts.

Ingredients

1½ kg feijoas
water to cover – about 4 cups
sugar

Method

Wash the feijoas and chop roughly. Place the fruit into a large preserving pan and cover with water.

Bring slowly to the boil and then simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the fruit is soft and pulpy.

Carefully transfer the hot fruit mixture to a jelly bag and allow the mixture to drain for 1-2 hours. Do not squeeze the fruit pulp.

Measure the juice and return to a clean saucepan and add ¾ cup sugar for every one cup of juice. Stir slowly over a moderate heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly until a setting test is given. Skim off any scum as it rises.

Allow the bubbles to subside, skim off any remaining scum and bottle in hot sterilised jars. Seal and label.
