Breakfast with passion

in #gardening7 years ago (edited)

We have a wild passion fruit vine that has established itself in my front garden. Most likely a present deposited from birds that have been eating someone else's fruit last year. It is loaded with lovely large fruit, we have to pick them a little green or the birds and possums will eat any that rippen on the vine.

I picked one a few days ago and enjoyed it on homemade Banana pancakes with Fig Jam topped with pears and my passion fruit.

Now that looks good!

Great post! Looks so good :)

Absolutely love passion-fruit mate - disappointed my most recent vines didn't produce any fruit. Enjoy your pancakes - upvoted and resteemed. SirKnight.

The irony in this is that I have planted 2 grafted passion fruit vines and the top graft died with the root stock going crazy. Now this wild sown one is loaded with fruit.

Haha... sometimes the wild ones are the best
Find it with my tomato crops all the time. SK.

I love passion fruit, my mom use to grow them in her yard. They are very popular in Hawaii, the Hawaiians call it Lilikoi and they use it in all sorts of deserts and drinks. For those of you who've never had passion fruit and is unable to acquire some locally, you can purchase Welch's juice. As someone who grew up drinking and dealing with passion fruit, I can say this is as authentic as it gets without harvesting the fruit yourself.

Thanks for the interesting comment.

This is still one of my favorites, Passion Fruit panna cotta.

I am an interesting kinda guy. Lol

Oh man, this post makes me want to break my diet and have some of those pancakes >.>

Haha. It's very healthy but I guess not the best for weight loss.

Whats the name of that fruit?

Oh it was mentioned in your post. :) I thought that name was an identifier.

Must be delicious

Yes beautiful and sweet
