TIP

Note Some feijoa varieties are much sweeter and juicier than others, so your chutney may vary from one batch to the next. We have reduced the vinegar in this recipe from 1 litre to 750ml, but you may wish to try it after it has cooked for an hour and adjust the flavour balance to suit your taste. The cooking time will vary depending on the juiciness of your feijoas and the size of your pot. If you are making a double batch it will take even longer to reduce.
