Passion Fruits

I like to add passion fruit to a fruit salad and just stir it through. Love the flowers too and have a small one in a pot hoping to transplant as I get this garden sorted

Having never been inclined or desperate enough to taste frog spawn!! I can only imagine!:-[ But I am one of the few people who like the fruit, weird I know:-D

Was it P. caerulea you add to fruit salads Gertrude?
Dd, when we were in Madeira earlier this year tasted various different Passion fruits, they were delicious. I have tried caerulea raw here, was not impressed.

It is an acquired taste!!

Sorry Siris but use the shop bought ones which have a dark purple skin. Don't like the smell, it's a bit acrid though the flavour is good.

We were served frogspawn fore school dinners sometimes, but it turned out to be tapioca...

Gertrude, I think there are scores of different varieties, all tasting different, unfortunately the only one we can grow outdoors in the Uk has little flavour.
Steragram, I remember tapioca, never had it since I left school, thank goodness.

Neither have I revolting stuff!!

I believe these fruits are mainly used for making a jelly!

Ah Paul, but what do you flavour the jelly with?

Not sure' Siris, we have never made it as I don't grow these plants (I'm not a lover of them, I'm afraid)but I have seen /read of them being used to make jelly/jam.
All the recipes online seem to be for the purple skinned fruits though.

Mm, that's not these tasteless ones then, Paul.

No, but I'm sure I've heard of people making Jelly from the yellow/orange ones!

Passiflora edulis is the best eater that is hardy and fruits in the UK.
P.antioquensis has the best tasting fruit that I have tried but will require an exceptional summer here in the UK.

A word of warning though - Passionfruits can be toxic. They should only be eaten if they have fallen from the plant or they come off with the most gentle of tugs. The worst that should happen with the common forms is a really bad stomach but never ever eat green and under-ripe fruits.

Thanks for the warning, but shan't try again as no taste to the ripe orange fruit.
