Recipe for Passion!

Barter

We have a bumper crop of bright orange fruits on our passion flower plant. Does anyone know what we can do with them?

(The rosehips have excelled themselves as well - any recipes for those too?)

Thanks for any suggestions,

Barbara.

Awww, and there's me thinking you'd thought of a lovely dinner for my darling cat 'Passion'. Other's might be thinking something else of course!

Hi Barter,
I too have a bumper crop this year. I looked around on the internet a few weeks ago but there wasn't much info. The following extract was the best I could find. (You can eat the pulp raw - it's quite pretty once you get rid of the covering membrane, and the flavour is very delicate.)
Cheers,
Cath


PASSION FLOWER FRUIT

The fruit of the blue passion flower falls into the category of wild growing foods that "look like they might but they won't" poison you....

What about making some jellies? I made some apple and rosehip jelly yesterday and it's lovely. I used thriftlady's instructions here.

Many thanks to all - tried to click the 'thanks' buttons, but it
won't register them; just getting the 'error on page' note.

Bit more global warming & maybe Delia will be doing a series on them!

Thanks again, B.

Hi - if this is the same as passion fruit then you can drizzle the juice on a pavlova. This is my favourite dessert. If they are like the ones your get in the supermarket, they are not ripe until they are wrinkly.
