If you are not familiar with feijoa, look at how to choose it and what to look for.

Beneficial properties of feijoa jam

Feijoa with sugar. Recipe for “raw” feijoa jam without cooking

This jam is also called “raw”.

We will need:

• 1 kg. Sahara;
• 1 kg. feijoa.

How to make this jam?

Choose ripe and beautiful feijoa fruits. Rinse with water. Cut off the remaining stalks; the peel does not need to be peeled. I cooked it in different ways, with and without peel. If you peel the peel, the raw jam will taste more tender. And with the peel it is healthier, since it contains a lot of necessary substances. I still advise you to prepare healthier jam along with the peel.

Cut the fruits into pieces and grind in a meat grinder or blender. I usually use a blender. So convenient. It grinds everything quickly, resulting in a very homogeneous mixture. Add sugar to the pureed mixture and stir. Place into clean jars with lids. You can leave it in the room until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then put it in the refrigerator and store it there. But I think that you won’t have to store it for a long time, because it’s both tasty and healthy, and we usually make a little stock of such jam after all.

I also prepared it in the following proportion: for 1 kg of feijoa fruit, 600-700 grams of sugar. Always kept it in the refrigerator. I gave my daughter a teaspoon 3-4 times a day. This recipe strengthens the immune system very well, is good for the blood, and increases hemoglobin. Adults can take a dessert spoon 3-4 times a day.
