How to Make Feijoa Jam

  1. Combine 1 kg feijoas, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the zest of 1 lemon in a large stainless steel pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer gently until the fruit is completely soft, about 15-20 minutes. Mash the feijoas slightly with a potato masher.
  2. Add 1 kg (or to taste) warmed sugar to the pot. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Increase the heat and bring the jam to a rolling boil. Boil rapidly, without stirring, for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  4. Carefully pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal the jars tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe storage.
