Passionfruit Haul

I'm not exactly sure how much is in this jug, but probably about 500ml of pure passion fruit pulp, and since a little goes a long way, this is loads!
We're having friends round for dinner tonight so I'm making a pavlova and some of this will go over the top. The rest will freeze. I put it into fairly small bags - the size I know will go on top of a pavlova - I should get at least 6 out of this lot.
yummy.

( addition! Well after the most lovely evening with gorgeous, funny, company there's not a whole lot left to freeze - this makes me happy! I reckon it's the sign of a really excellent night when you've hardly any passionfruit left :) )

(we're ok here, Civil Defence has us on a tsunami warning after the horrendous earthquake in Japan, but so far the waves are topping out at 50cm. I don't know what's going on in the world right now. Poor Japan. I've been watching footage all morning and have never seen anything like it, heartbreaking.)

  4. Yum passion fruit pulp sounds delicious!

    I agree that mother earth is definitely trying to let the humanity know she is unhappy. Still is heartbreaking to see the devastation.

  8. We spoke this morning about the same thing, it seems that the earth is upset about something, as it just seems like one thing after another...Im glad that you are okay...
    As for your gorgeous passionfruit pulp....can you take the seeds out...I absolutely love the taste of passionfruit, but can not get past the crunch of the seeds... :(

  9. oh you know I dont know - it's a bit like frog spawn! so I reckon it would be tricky - funnily enough I usually hate seeds - I pick them out of grapes and watermelon, but happily eat passion fruit. It's maybe cos when I lived in Glasgow one passion fruit was about 3 pounds!! So I think they are very precious and can hardly believe they grow in our garden!

  10. Have just heard from my son in Japan he is okay but his contents in his apartment are destroyed. He says that the ground wont stop moving. If you live near the sea have you heard how rogh it has been lately it was the same a few days before the christchurch one. We live one street back from the beach in Mt Maunganui.
