freshly picked Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana) from Ene’s Winter Garden
I never notice our pineapple guava bush, which frames the back entry to our vegetable garden, until the ripe fruit drops from its branches. This morning I picked most of the feijoa, about 2 gallons, which we’ll make into salsa, smoothies and muffins. As always, I’m open to suggestion and would love to hear of any good recipes. 888 casino arab While gathering the feijoa I was struck by the misty morning light streaming across the meadow and into the garden, and thought to make a few photos of Ene’s Winter Garden, in response to numerous requests after my recent post.

Ene’s winter kale, ready to eat
Ene plants flowers along the garden fences
and marigolds everywhere
the meadows are all in full clover

We had a group of Hmong students visit the Copia garden once. They went straight for the guavas and ate them with fresh hot chiles. I dust them with chile powder. They are also good in a sorbet.
Thanks, Colby. Sounds delicious! We’ll experiment with fresh chiles and powder, and have already made a mini-sorbet. Good to hear from you.
Nice to see active gardens, we’ve had our first brutal taste of winter yesterday.
I saw this recipe for a savory use of feijoa: http://www.foodreference.com/html/feijoa-chicken.html
Looking at the recipe, I don’t think the cornstarch is all that necessary. Although without it the dish will be slightly soupy, I like curries that way anyway.
