Other than eating fresh, sharing and selling, dehydrate is a great option. I dehydrate many fruits and most are delicious dehydrated.
It's feast of famine when it comes to most fruit production. What do y'all do with your excess fruit?I freeze and process a little in jams and chutneys to give as gifts, and bring bags of fresh fruit to friends. In a year or two I'll have enough to starting selling. What do you do with all the fruit you can't personally use?
If we have a huge crop of plums, or apples, we let them to ferment in barrels and leaven will go to local distillery where they produce hard drink for us. I still have a 20 liters bottle full of fine hard drink made from mix of fermented plums and pears from last distillation.For example from 200 liters of fermented plums you can obtain up to 20 liters of hard drink with 52% alcohol if the sugar is high.
This is one reason I dont grow fruits like peaches that ripen all within a couple weeks.

Especially farm labour, and I need a BBQ grill and chicken house built.Which part of Fiji? How long will you be here?You are welcome to visit my farm when you have some time off, maybe go out for some snorkeling or fishing if you'd like.
