Step-by-step recipe:
Step 1:
Prepare the feijoa: wash and cut the fruit into quarters.
NOTE: For a more delicate and sweet puree, peel the feijoas: cut them in half, carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin. Place the flesh in a bowl.
Step 2:
Puree: Place an immersion blender in the bowl and begin blending on medium speed. Move the blender up and down to ensure even blending.
Step 3:
Add sugar: Once the puree is smooth, add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Beat for another 10–15 seconds until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 4:
Check the taste: taste the puree. If necessary, add another 1 tablespoon of sugar and blend again.
Step 5:
Carefully ladle the finished puree into individual bowls or jars. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator.
Cooking tips:
Choose ripe feijoas – they are soft, aromatic and sweet – green fruits will be sour and tough.
If you want a smoother texture, strain the puree through a sieve after blending to remove any remaining seeds.
Add sugar gradually—feijoa is naturally sweet, especially when ripe. You can substitute honey or maple syrup for the sugar—this will make the puree healthier and more flavorful.
Use an immersion blender—it handles the dense texture of feijoa better than a regular mixer.
Do not over-blender the puree, as it may become too runny and lose its rich flavor.
Serve with yogurt, oatmeal or toast for a great breakfast combination.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator - the puree will not darken unless it is exposed to air for a long time.
