Facebook has established a feijoa fan page and it is rapidly attracting a bunch of feijoa lovers. Most comments are complaints about the lack of availability and the price, along with a lot of reminiscing of how good they are by NZ expats and individuals around the world who’ve had a taste and want more! A couple of recipes have been posted to the page, including this one for feijoa crumble, which came from Jane Wilkins.
FEIJOA CRUMBLE
Serves 4
Ingredients
- melted butter, for greasing
- 110g (3/4 cup) plain flour

- 75g chilled, unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Lightly brush a shallow 1.5 litre (6 cup) ovenproof dish with the melted butter.
