Feijoa Jelly & Blue Cheese platter
----
This Feijoa Jelly goes extremely well with any cheese and crackers. My Favourite is to thinly slice a rustic bread (in this case my sourdough chia-linseed), toast it and spread a creamy blue cheese or double cream brie on it, then add a generous portion of Heather’s Feijoa Jelly on top. Yum, and great with any wine. Garnish the plate with the Freeze-Dried Feijoa Wedges and slices of apple.

Feijoa & Walnut Chocolate Bark
----
Method:
Place a dark chocolate Whittaker's bar in a double boiler, gently melt chocolate. You may need to add a little water or cream, 1 Tbl to maintain moisture as some water from the chocolate evaporates.
Use baking paper to spread out the melted chocolate in any form you like.
Break up walnut pieces and Heather’s Freeze-Dried Feijoa Wedges.
Sprinkle them on top of the chocolate while the chocolate is still warm.
Wait until the chocolate is cooled (or not) and enjoy.
