Pineapple guava, also called feijoa, is a fruit that adds a sweet-tart-floral flavor to foods like this quick bread. The glaze adds a bit of sweetness to each slice, but it’s good without the glaze too.

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 2 loaf pans (each 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 in.).

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 3
