Feijoa jelly

A wobbly, fragrant jelly made with feijoa, a New Zealand fruit tasting somewhere between guava, pineapple and pear. It keeps well in the fridge and goes nicely with creamy desserts.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the feijoas, halve them and place them in a pan with the water.
  2. Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the flesh is very soft.
  3. Press everything through a fine sieve or colander to collect a clear juice.
  4. Return the juice to the pan with the sugar and lemon juice, then bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Soak the gelatine in cold water, squeeze it out and dissolve it in the hot juice off the heat.
  6. Pour into moulds or a bowl and leave to cool.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before unmoulding or serving.

Variations and tips

Ginger flavour. Add 3 slices of fresh ginger while cooking and remove them before adding the sugar.
