I did my best to make this look pretty, but there’s no two ways about it, stewed fruit and melted chocolate looks horrible.
I made this recipe up based on what I had on hand. No reason why you can’t do the same. By all means, experiment! And eat the evidence.
Feijoa (pronounced fee-jo-ah) can be replaced with berries or stone fruit.

Hi Genie! thanks for visiting my juk post on Apricosa and for sharing those helpful tips–i think it is so cool how the word is the same in Cantonese!
i wasn’t sure what feijoas were until i Googled them and realized i know them by the name “pineapple guava.” now i’ve learned a new word! i know how hard it is to get pretty photos of certain foods, but i have to say, your photo is lovely nonetheless. thanks for sharing the recipe!
Hi Erica, I didn’t realise that people really did call these pineapple guava. Do they grow in your country or are they imported? I love pineapple guava 🙂
You got great points there, that’s why I always love checking out your blog.
Time to look at our fejioa tree if it has some fruit now 🙂
