Feijoa liqueur: 3 recipes at home

The nondescript-looking green shriveled feijoa fruit does not attract much attention when you first meet it. But those who have tried the exotic berry note its unusual taste, combining notes of strawberry, pineapple and kiwi.

A very interesting bouquet for home winemakers. The only "minus" is the inexpressive aroma, but for true gourmets this is not an obstacle at all: it is enough to choose a good accompaniment to it.
