My Kiwi husband is a real feijoa lover, so once I made a batch of feijoa vodka and still with a couple of kilos of fruit to use I gave this a try. It has a nice slightly dense chewy texture and the ginger matches beautifully with the tang of the feijoa. I used Australian golden syrup and not sure if it is thinner than other countries, but half a cup was not 175 grams.
