1kg Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar
1kg skinned and chopped feijoa flesh
1 Tbsp chopped crystallised ginger
A knob of Tararua Butter
In a large saucepan combine feijoas, ginger and Chelsea Jam Setting Sugar. Cook over a low heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved.
Add the knob of Tararua Butter then increase heat and boil rapidly for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat, then test a small amount on a cold plate (the surface of the jam should wrinkle when a spoon is pushed through it). If it doesn't wrinkle cook for a further 2 minutes and test again.
Spoon into hot, sterilised glass jars and seal.
Makes 4-5 medium jars.
This is my husband's favourite jam and we freeze packs of 1kg of feijoas so we can make fresh jam when we run out of this flavour. We use more ginger than the recipe.
Jam sugar is fantastic and is a game changer for making all jam. and retaining fresh fruit taste without prolonged boiling.

I added some crystallised ginger, 3x limes & a knob of butter.
The taste was good, but the jam did not set. Its more like feijoa in syrup.
It was also very sweet so, next time I would change the ratio - more fruit & less sugar.
Didnt even know fiejoa. My son gave me a few. Look for a recipe at google and I promise this is delicious. I love it. Im from South Africa. Joyce
Superb jam -I make it every year now and triple the preserved ginger as we like ginger. Love the jam setting sugar as I had never used this previously had always used additional jam setting stuff.
Love it!!! My new favorite jam. Great on freshly made scones.
I thought I didn’t like feijoas - this recipe has proved me wrong. Thoroughly recommend.
Excellent tasting even when I substituted brown sugar and used 750ml and I used 2 tspoons of freshly ground ginger! Very easy to make!
Sooooo easy to make and highly delicious. If you LOVE ginger (as I do) then double it, you still get the feijoa taste.
I used raw sugar and used 3/4 of the measurement and put in 5 tbsps ginger and absolutely love it
Great recipe fabulous with crackers and brie/Camembert cheese. Must admit I doubled the ginger as I am a ginger lover.
Awesome taste of Feijoa with a hint of ginger. Quick and easy
