If you have a glut of feijoas

You should make some yummy feijoa chutney..

I found this recipe last year when I had been gifted two huge bags of feijoas and wasn't too sure what to do with them. I just love the hint of ginger with the feijoas. Actually I heard someone say recently that ginger is to feijoas what cinnamon is to apples. Makes total sense to me.

Feijoa Chutney

::Ingredients

1.5kg feijoas

1kg onions

1/2c crystallised ginger

2c sultanas

2c brown sugar

1T cloves (ground)

3T curry powder

2T salt

1L malt vinegar

::Method

Cut and remove feijoas from their skins, cut onions and finely slice the ginger. Combine with all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to the boil while stirring from time to time. Simmer until thick (you may wish to add some cornflour to assist this process). Once thickened, pour into sterilised and warmed jars and seal immediately.

Makes 4 large or 8 small jars. Best eaten a month or so after making (more flavoursome).

I have made two lots of chutney this year. Once at my mothers place, and again the Friday before Easter. This recipe is particularly delicious.
