Feijoa & Lime Muffins image

Feijoas make wonderful partners to tart limes. Feijoas are available from around March until June. Or try finely chopped kiwifruit, bananas, pawpaw or fresh chopped pineapple. This recipe came from the net when I was looking for something to do with the feijoas from my tree.
