feijoa tart

Tues 1

Tues 2

Tues 3

Three homely things today: a bit of weeding in the garden (brought the ferns and daisies in with me afterwards), some 'winter branch' embroidery and a feijoa tart. The feijoa trees in my parents' orchard just keep on giving… I think they're into their third month now of harvesting these little beauties. We had about twenty languishing in the fruit bowl, and then I remembered about the any-kind-of-fruit tart recipe. Should be good for pudding (ours and the neighbours'- gotta love that big recipe.)

    Oh my, I’m in the UK and having serious feijoa withdrawals! Sometimes you can buy feijoa here for £1-2, or there is one restaurant, run by Peter Gordon, where you can buy a glass of juice for £5. My mum used to make a feijoa desert, wrapping peeled feijoa in sweet pastry, then sprinkling with sugar and a bit of water and baking (I think) – feijoa dumplings in a syrup. Or feijoa and apple sponge pudding. Oh dear, I can almost taste them!

    We love feijoa’s too so thanks for recipe link. A current favourite of mine is poached ginger feijoas – peel and cut into slices approx 6 feijoas and poach until soft ( 5 mins) in 1/2c sugar, 1/2c water and 1/2 – 1tsp ground ginger – yummy with vanilla icecream.
    ps lovely embroidery

    Have no clue what the feijoas taste like but you are making me feel guilty for not being in the garden working 🙂

    That tart looks divine. I am clueless about feijoas but I now know what to do with our gooseberry glut, thank you 😀

    You always manage to take the simplest items and make them absolutely sweet and wonderful. Love your little lavender sachets from bits of scrap. Think I’ll start sewing some of my own (and I can barely sew 🙂 Lemon cookies are on my to do list tomorrow too. My summer holiday has officially begun. Best wishes, Tammy
