Sugar-Free Feijoa Chutney for Winter

A great alternative to jam — make a chutney instead! Sugar-free feijoa for winter is easy to put up. It keeps for a long time in the fridge and tastes sweet (even though there's no sugar in it!), spicy, and savory all at once. Serve it with cheese, pancakes, or even poultry and meat — it's a truly all-purpose preserve.

  • Wash the feijoas, pat them dry with paper towels, then purée them in a blender or run them through a meat grinder. Transfer the fruit purée to a suitably sized pot (use an enameled or stainless steel one).
  • Peel the onion and garlic, rinse under running water, and pat dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic on a fine grater or through a press, and finely chop the onion.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot with the feijoa and set it on the stove over low heat. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for about 2 hours, stirring regularly so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • About 20 minutes before the end, add the spices and pour in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add more salt and spices if needed. Once cooked, fish out the cloves.
  • As cooking winds down, get your jars and lids ready — they should be sterile and dry, and small jars work best. Ladle the boiling-hot chutney into the jars, seal tightly with sterile lids, and let cool completely at room temperature. Then move the jars to a permanent, cool storage spot.
  • Feijoa chutney made this way keeps for about six months. Once a jar is opened, store the remaining chutney in the fridge for no more than 3–4 days.
  • Enjoy, and happy cooking!
