How to make Feijoa Jam

We have been overloaded with this absolutely delicious autumnal fruit. But we don't mind at all. This year I have managed to put some aside from my feijoa loving family so I could make some jam. They will thank me for it later when the season is over and there is no more fresh ones to be had!

This video is a day late as I misjudged just how long it would take for me to recover from my wisdom tooth removal. Not in a hurry to do that again!

Cheers Sarah : o )

And now you can find me on Twitter @SarahtheGarden.

I have never heard of Feijoa fruit before but I'm intrigued.
I have a question about your kids. I like the single lid instead of lids and rings-looks easier.
What are your lids called or what kind of lids are these? I'm in the US and to me, they look the lids on store-bought pickle jars. I'm going to try and find some Feijoa fruit one day. 😊😊

Hi~~. I’m in Korea
I love you video 🥰
I grow 4 feijoa trees. I guess some fruit this year.
So I ask you what kind of materials for feijoa jam.
Thank you 🙏

Hi Sarah, Could you please put up the recipe with Quanities of each ingredient, cooking time etc. I think last year I wrote it down while watching your video but now this year I am ready to make my Feijoa Jam again & can't find where I wrote it all down.

Okay first thank you. Cant wait to make jam with mine this fall. How do you know when they are ripe. I seem to always wait too. Long.

Hi there, you rock, however I have a question, can I use brown or raw sugar instead of white sugar?

[a.botero]

The best part of the feijoa is the skin. You should never peel them. I live in Colombia and they grow very well here. We have a tree in the country house where I live. It is a very common fruit in this country. We use them in juices, marmalades, confiture, and so on. They are delicious.

Hi Sarah, If you use the hot jar and top opposed to Water Bath method, how long is the jam good for? What if you don't use the sugar, will it still be ok to eat and if yes for how long?

Sarah: I love your recipe. Here we call it (to the Feijoa) "Guayabo Serrano" o "Guayabo del país". My aunt used to do it, but she never told me her secret. Tomorrow I´ll try to do it.
See you and best regards from Argentina.

Thanks Sarah. I made some feijoa jam yesterday before I saw your video. I made it practically the same way. I was just curious about the water method. I pressed my lids down rather than waiting like you did. Only cause I had no idea what I was doing lol.
I was also wondering about the celephane method. I might give that a go to.
Another question tho you preserve feijoas whole (or chopped up like how would you do that? Same with apples to.

tried to make some, but it turned out too runny and didn't set :( how do I fix it? or is there anything else I can do with the mix? I've just kept them sealed in the jars lol

[papaoldie]

Hi, I was wondering how much water you added to the mixture

[dianaliddelow]

Hi Sarah, I didn't know that my fejoas were so small until I saw yours. My trees are 3 years old. This year one had about 60 fejoas, and the other had 4. Do you have any ideas about why that would be? Also, my friend stewed up some fejoas with pears, plums and apples. She left the skins on and it was a terrific mixture. Do you and your fejoa loving family ever eat the skins? Thanks a LOT for the video!

[mzlleathers]

Oh, so good for just eating with ice cream or straight from the jar mmmm

[jilljill]

Your kitchen needs some garden in it🌻🌻🌻🌺🌺🌺😇

[frightfoo]

I would prefer using raw honey as the preservative. Have you tried this?

[SaiaFT]

How are these things not related to guava?

[bevosto]

First time I've made it. Didn't want to waste the small ones at the end of the crop. Hope it's ok,
