originally from South America, feijoas have firmly established themselves in New Zealand, particularly on the North Island where they grow with abandon. Although feijoa bushes are prolific, the feijoa season is short, the fruit bruises easily and does not keep for more than 3 weeks. combining them with dried apricots and the mellow tones of juniper berries makes an interesting sweet chutney.
