Ingredients
- 1 litre apple juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 star anise
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 cloves
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, grated
- 20 feijoas, firm but ripe
- 1/2 lemon
Method
- 1Sterilise jars in a 120°C oven for at least 15 minutes, and boil lids in a pot for 10 minutes. Place juice, sugar, spices and zest in a large pan and bring to a simmer.
- 2Peel each feijoa and quickly place in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. Slice feijoas into thirds or halves depending on size and add to simmering juice mixture. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until fruit is just tender and holding its shape.
- 3Spoon fruit into hot sterilised jars and top up with spiced liquid, seal and let cool; store in a cool, dark place. (Or tip cooled fruit and liquid into a glass bowl, cover and refrigerate; it will keep for up to two weeks).
- 4Serve with chocolate brownie and ice cream or over cereal or porridge – hot or cold.
Notes
- Makes 6-8 small jars.
