An abundance of fruit

I have fruit tress at the bottom of my garden and now have lemons, oranges, red apples, green apples, feijoas and tomatoes. Bucket loads in fact and in the case of the feijoas that is literal.
So what to do??? Jam, I'm thinking. So first; check the Edmonds Cookbook (Kiwi cooking bible) to discover that my, admitedly very old edition fails to mention feijoas but does give good general jam/jelly-making advice. Second; check Stephanie (her Cook's Companion is the Aussie cooking bible) who has saved me on more than one occasion but is equally silent on the subject of feijoas. Third; Google. Bingo!! Jam, jelly and chutney recipes in a multitude of variations and for nothing less that 1kg of fruit.
Now all I have to do is find enough jars.
