Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Feijoas (peeled and chopped)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 ml Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Peel the feijoas and roughly chop them into small pieces. This should yield approximately 500 grams of fruit.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped feijoas, granulated sugar, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the feijoas break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and ground cinnamon (if using) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lemon juice if desired.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Alternatively, leave the sauce slightly chunky for a more rustic texture.
Allow the sauce to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sauce can be stored for up to one week.
Serve the feijoa sauce warm or cold as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or roasted meats.
