When I came to live here I started planting my old faves – avocadoes, citrus. Then I saw in our local “Osh” store passion fruit vines. I did a little research on line and found that some of them do produce fruit – mostly the banana fruit kind – sort of looks like testicles growing on a vine, green until they turn yellow when they are ripe.

So I have grown my own, and right now I’m harvesting and trying out this new recipe. Last year I improvised with orange gelatin and cream and it turned out delicious and v. delicate in color. Then I picked a flower off the one vine to docorate – it is the most beautiful deep rasberry color flower. The vines growrapidly and are v. beautiful – I have 4 different kinds each with distinctive color and shaped flowers.
