I love the flavour of feijoas, and they are in season for a short time, so making this jelly is a great way to make the most of your backyard bounty.
Ingredients
| 1 kg | Feijoa (Main) |
| 2 tsp | Lemon rind |
| 1 Tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 2 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 1 | Bay leaf |
| 1 serving | Water |
| 1 cup | Caster sugar, per cup of juice released |

Directions
- Chop the feijoas and put into a large saucepan with the lemon rind, juice, vanilla and bay leaf.
- Cover with water, then bring to a boil and cook for about 30 minutes or until the fruit is very soft.
- Pour into either a jelly bag or use a double layer of muslin suspended over a bowl.
- Leave the juice to drip through - don't be tempted to squeeze the bag or the jelly will be cloudy. Allow ¾-1 hour for this.
- Measure the juice and place in a saucepan along with 1 cup of sugar per cup of juice.
- Bring to a boil, then cook rapidly for 15 minutes. Skim any froth from the top before pouring into warm, sterilised jars. Seal while hot.
