When I started submitting my avocado recipes for the Afrikado challenge – which I did not win by the way, one of my Facebook friends sent me her recipe for preserved avocados. Funnily enough, a few days later I saw it on another friend’s Facebook page so I am not sure who ‘owns’ the original recipe. Because of that, I have changed the recipe somewhat. The changes were done also to suit my palate and what I consider as a good mix for avocados. I would use these preserved avocados as a topping for pizza or pasta or even served on a slice of toasted sourdough bread. If you know where the original recipe comes from, please let me know. It is the one with country garlic and herb spices.

What a great idea Tandy – never thought about preserving avos. Not sure what the original recipe looks like but what you have done sounds fabulous.

Thanks Mandy 🙂
Sounds a nice idea. We have plenty of good avocados around so I might try it. What I would like is a good recipe for green tomatoes….I have a ton of them:)
I shall post a recipe for some green tomato chutney for you 🙂
Great Idea! In Peru we have delicious avacodos and these are healthy fats so why not try them? I have and avocado addiction so I will defintly try them. Nice blog by the way, maybe you like mine too 🙂 http://www.fromperutotheworld.wordpress.com
Thanks for the visit and the comment – off to look at your blog now 🙂
I have never ever heard of this. Interesting idea Tandy.
Thanks Tammy 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of preserved avos before, such a new concept!
New to me as well Lisa 🙂
Sounds like a great idea, Tandy. I’ll pass it on to my sister who has a huge avo tree in her garden. 🙂
She is so lucky AD 🙂
Hi Tandy. I also didn’t know you could preserve avocados. Very interesting.
Quite a nice thing to have on hand when the craving strikes 🙂
Avocados don’t last long enough in my house to be preserved, but it looks like a wonderful recipe!
I had to fight for this one Jacs!
What a novel idea – am curious to know how they taste?
They taste quite interesting – not like fresh avos, but more like well dressed salad avos 🙂
Preserved avocados Tandy?…get out of town! How cool is that, I would have known you could do that.
It is such a nifty idea 🙂
My favourite sandwich is the one made at a market on the Berea which is a mashed avo with pickled veg on a fresh slice of oama se winkel bread!!!
I shall have to try that at home Lisa!
What an interesting concept!
Thanks Squishy 🙂
I’ve never heard of this before, Tandy. This would be wonderful for people with avocado trees.
For sure, and I wish I had a tree!
This might just be the best idea in the WORLD!!
Thank you!
Waw, Tandy! What a truly amazing, tasty & fab recipe! I must make this recipe soo! Yummm!
Let me know what you think Sophie!
