Serves
1
10 ripe medium-sized feijoas
3 cooking apples
600ml water
600g Chelsea White Sugar
Peel feijoas, saving the skin. Roughly chop fruit and set aside.
Put feijoa peel and apple into a saucepan, then barely cover with water. Cook until soft and mushy. This will make the cooking liquid for the feijoa.
Strain cooked fruit through a fine sieve into a large heavy-bottomed pot, making sure to push down hard on the apples to get out all the juice. Add feijoa mixture to liquid and cook until soft.
Push feijoa mixture through a sieve or mash to produce feijoa pulp.
Add Chelsea White Sugar to feijoa pulp and stir until dissolved.
Cook slowly on lowest heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes until thick. This will take about 2 hours – when it’s ready, the spoon will leave a path in the mixture and will start to come away from the sides.
Line a slice tin with baking paper and quickly pour paste in. Smooth the top.
Place aside to set, then cut into squares, wrap in paper and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Serve with cheese and crackers on a platter.
