Feijoas !
As an amazing summer is drawing to a close we are always rewarded by nature in Autumn in New Zealand with a bumper crop of Feijoas ! Its somewhat a kiwi Icon now - The backyard delight to say the least . I know as child growing up in Suburban Hamilton everyone had a feijoa tree or had a neighbour that had one . So the first thing we did on moving into our new house 4 years ago was say goodbye to oaks & say hello the humble Feijoa ! We planted 3 trees that serve us very well indeed ... But to make the amounts of cake that I am going to be doing & posting I needed more ! Luckily my dear neighbour has a bout 20 trees & another has a HUGE tree that produces thousands! Whoopeeee , so in the next few weeks I am attempting a few recipes some new, some old .....so please stay tuned !
