Healthy recipes! We made juice and jam from fresh feijoa in the village

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness and flavor.

pectin

Apple peels can be used to naturally thicken the jam.

Wash feijoas and remove the ends.

Chop feijoas into small pieces.

Combine chopped feijoas, sugar, and water in a large pot.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

Add lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger to the pot.

Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

Cook for 20-30 minutes until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.

Test the jam by placing a spoonful on a cold plate and checking the set.

Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Pour the jam into sterilized jars while still hot.

Seal the jars and let them cool completely at room temperature.

Store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate after opening.
