Ask for "passiflora edulis", cultivar "frederick" for great tasting, purple fruit. NB -- the green fruit will take up to three months to ripen on the vine! When you see flowers, touch them to each other to cross pollinate. Most nurseries or garden shops will order one for you.

I jazzed it up with a bit of soda water and enjoyed a very nice cocktail. Thanks! Hey — my passionfruit vine has been producing dozens of fruit so I finally tried this recipe.

An old post about one of my most fave fruits has resurfaced! COOL! I even have some cachaca languishing in my pantry, leftover from a wild July 4th party. What better excuse to get my guy to watch City of God with me (finally). So, I checked the White Dove Farms site and am thinking of gritting my teeth and purchasing a dozen of those luscious purple babies. Yep, at over dollar apeice that certainly does beat Gelsons exorbitant $3 per wrinkly fruit. But why? why? WHY? Why is passionfruit so expensive here in LA? It grows like a weed, is dead simple to harvest -- what gives? In Sydney you'd probably get 10 for a dollar. (I miss Sydney *sigh*) Yeah, I am growing some passionfruit now (after eventually locating the very best eating variety p. edulis, aka the frederick) but they do take a very long time to ripen on the vine... sparse winter sunshine is also a factor... But I have my beady little eyes on those six fruits. Better place an order with the farm. Fantastic! An old post about one of my most fave fruits has resurfaced! COOL!

You got it. Should be up by tomorrow. Have you also seen the LATimes' recent section on summery drinks? It was really well done but they've got a registration interrupt on it right now.

It was the recipe of the day on Epicurious, but changed before I could get it and now I can't find it on their web site! Would you mind posting the recipe for the Black-Currant Diablo as well.
