Thank you for the many donations of seasonal fruit and vegetables - these are very much appreciated.
We have made this yummy, quick and easy feijoa loaf for the children's morning tea:
Place 1 cup peeled, chopped feijoas, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup sugar and 50 gram butter in a pot. Simmer for 5 minutes, cool slightly, then beat in 1 egg, 2 cups self raising flour and 1 level teaspoon baking soda (don't overdo the soda). Pour into loaf tin (or other container) and bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. ENJOY!
You can also use any banana cake recipe and replace with feijoas. We have found that just using the fleshy middle part of the feijoa makes the loaf lovely and moist and less gritty as the slightly gritty texture can put some children off eating it.
Did you know feijoas are a native plant of Brazil and are named after a Portuguese botanist?
