The New Zealand Feijoa Growers Association distributes press releases throughout the year which contain some delicious recipes. I found this recipe for an easy upside down tart published in the Nelson Mail, but if you search through the news and promotions section of the NZ Feijoa Growers Association site you can also track down more recipes.
Upside down tarts always look great and using ready-made short pastry makes this one a breeze.
