Feijoas, and feijoas, and feijoas

Well I think it's goodbye to the feijoas for another year.
I do really love feijoas, but I must say I was kinda getting sick of the smell of them in the kitchen.
We have 15 big jars of stewed feijoas.
4 jars of feijoa jam.
5 jars of feijoa and cinnamon jam.
And we had 1 jar of dried feijoas, but they didn't last long before they were gobbled up.
I have a small bag of feijoas left in the fridge that I may put into the dehydrator, if I can be bothered.

So anyway, we have enough preserved to last us until next season. Because you really should eat feijoas all year round I think.
The kids agree too, they have fallen in love with the fruit just like their mum.
And they were great little helpers with all the feijoa stuff that went on.
Most of their help was about testing and sampling of course.

I am VERY jealous but not for long hopefully, I just planted a feijoa in my garden a few weeks ago, hoping for fruit next year :)
Did you know they are almost impossible if not impossible to export since they only have a couple of day shelf life. Never seen one in Japan.

My mum's just initiated my wee boy into a strong love affair with them, so we bought a little bag of them last night.
Love it when he asks for actual fruit ...
