The other day at the market we found very very mature kiwi on sale at 70 cents per kilo. There weren't many left and the vendor who was evidently anxious to wrap it up and go home, gave all of them to us for 1€, which were nearly 2kg. They were very good, only one of them being gone over the hill.
We didn't have much problem gobbling them down within a few days (aside from making some more kiwi ice cream... mmm), we came to wonder, just in case we find similar deal again, if kiwi are good for baking (pies, crostatas...), making jams or comports etc. We just realised we don't remember seeing the fruit being utilized this way. Could that mean kiwi are heat intolerant fruits which causes unpleasant reactions when they are cooked? Or have we been missing something and there are great recipes with cooked kiwi? Has anyone tried it?
We are very curisous!
