There is an Alison Holst feijoa muffin recipe that is delicious - maybe thats the one you have? It has an option of adding raspberries, and the addition makes the muffins sooo delicious that even my DH, who doesn't like feijoas loves the muffins.
If thats not the recipe you have, let me know and i'll dig it out at home. I've moved house and don't have a feijoa tree this year, I'm gutted! (and I'm going to plant several this winter!) |

Feijoa Jelly (for on toast)
Ingredients 1.5 kg feijoas water to cover – about 4 cups sugar Method 1. Wash the feijoas and chop roughly. Place the fruit into a large preserving pan and cover with water. 2. Bring slowly to the boil and then simmer for 45-50 minutes or until the fruit is soft and pulpy. 3. Carefully transfer the hot fruit mixture to a jelly bag and allow the mixture to drain for 1-2 hours. Do not squeeze the fruit pulp. 4. Measure the juice and return to a clean saucepan and add 3/4 cup sugar for every one cup of juice. Stir slowly over a moderate heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly until a setting test is given. Skim off any scum as it rises. 5. Allow the bubbles to subside, skim off any remaining scum and bottle in hot sterilised jars. Seal and label. |

SimoneF: I have a great feijoa muffin recipe that I will post, just have to find it tucked away in amongst my recipes, as haven't made it in a while due to the fact that the UK doesn't seem to sell feijoas (can't find them anywhere over here!), so can't wait to make this recipe again when we're back in NZ and it's feijoa season again! I'll try and find it tonight.

Hehe, whoops... forgot I'd promised to put a recipe up here 
At least I can assure you that it was worth the wait 
Fabulous Feijoa Muffins (From Alison Holst's marvelous muffins book, I think). 75g butter, melted 1 cup finely chopped feijoa flesh 2 large eggs finely grated rind of 1 orange ¼ cup orange juice ¾ cup sugar 2 cups self-raising flour 1 tsp cinnamon 1 Tbsp sugar Heat oven to 210°C (200°C fanbake), with the rack just below the middle. Heat the butter in a large bowl until it is liquid. Halve the feijoas and scoop out the central part with a teaspoon. (Muffins are nicest if you do not use much of the firmer outer shell.) Chop feijoa into pieces no bigger than peas. Pack into cup measure, then mix this into the melted butter with a fork. Add the unbeaten eggs, orange rind, and the juice of the orange (made up to volume with a little lemon juice if necessary). Mix until everything is combined. Mix the sugar and self-raising flour in another container. Sprinkle it over the egg mixture, then fold it in without overmixing. (If you have used too much firm feijoa flesh you may need to add a little extra juice or milk to reach usual muffin consistency.) Divide the mixture between greased muffin pans. Mix the cinnamon and second measure of sugar, and sprinkle it on the muffins. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the centres spring back when pressed. VARIATION: For Raspberry and Feijoa Muffins, add an extra ¼ c of sugar and fold in 1 c of frozen raspberries. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
