Hi does anyone have any recipe ideas for passionfruit?
We have a vine that has gone crazy, I have two shopping bags full of them so far. And whilst I have given some away I still have heaps! :doh:
Apart from using them to decorate cakes/pavs etc are there any other ideas? Thanks!
What about making a sorbet with them? yum!

Passionfruit Curd
Ingredients:
125 gm unsalted butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
4 x eggs, lightly beaten
pulp of 6 passionfruit
Method:
1. Place all ingredients in the top of a double boiler and cook over gentle heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens. To test if mixture is thick enough, remove spoon and draw a finger down the back of the spoon. If the curd is cooked, the mixture on the spoon will remain in place. If still runny, then cook further until successfully tested.
2. To cook in the microwave, place all ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl and stir (do not beat) with a balloon whisk. Cook on HIGH for 2 minutes, then remove and stir with whisk. Continue cooking for no more than 1 minutes at a time until mixture is starting to thicken, always stirring in between. As mixture thickens, cook in 30 second bursts to prevent over- cooking.
3. When curd is complete, pour into sterilized jars, seal immediately and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator and use within a few weeks

Make sugar syrup and cool.
In a stainless steel bowl mix egg yolks and syrup, whisking occasionally over a double boiler until thick. When egg yolk mix is ready and cooled slightly add passionfruit pulp. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold cream into passionfruit mix and freeze.
Coconut Ice-Cream is made the same way using desiccated coconut brought to the boil in milk and simmered for 5 minutes to infuse all the flavour.

Passionfruit Jam
Ingredients:
24 x passionfruit
5 cup cold water
1 cup water

Wash fruit well. Scoop out the pulp from the passionfruit and retain. Take half the passionsfruit shells and put with the first measure of water into a bowl and leave to stand overnight. Bring to the boil with the water and boil for about 30 minutes, or until inside of shells are tender. Scoop out this pulp and discard the thin paper skin that remains. Discard the cooking water.
Chop or mash the pulp and put into jam pan with fruitpulp and seeds. Add the second measure of water and bring to the boil. Add the juice of the lemon. Add sugar and boil briskly until the jam will set when tested.
Allow to cool 10 minutes before pouring into hot, dry jars. Seal when cold.

Turn out onto serving plate and garnish with fresh fruit slices and mango coulis.
What about giving more away? (I'll be in the nappy thread mate) :cryinglaugh:
It's yum on pancakes too.
hmm, my Panama Gold vine has gone nuts too - maybe 60 or 70 fruit on it, but damn if they'll ripen :(
OMG I tried growing them & the feral possums ate the vines new shoots so I tore out the vines in frustration, I LOVE passionfruits.... I'll happily have some!!!! LOL
I'm in bayswater (JIC) :cryinglaugh:
Thanks for the ideas! :D
Kerry thanks heaps for the recipes, I'll have to give some of them a go!
I just had my mum ring me and ask for a whole bag so she can give them away at work!
If we get any more over the next week or so I'll happily drop some off to anyone who isn't too far from me! Yes Tracey that's you! I live in Kilsyth. I'll keep you posted! :)
Wooo HOO, doing a saggy bagg happy preg belly dance!!!! LOL.......
PASSIONFRUIT (is my Homer Simpson Donut addiction) DROOOLLLLLLLL
OK, Brooke & Kerry & others (NO MORE RECIPES!!!!)
Ooooohhh passionfruit slice sounds delish! I'd love to make it if you can find the recipe!
Does anyone think that passionfruit will be ok to freeze?
Ha ha Tracey, I'm imagining what your preg dance looks like!!!!!!
NO BROOOOOOOOKE NOOOOOOOO, Not til I get a bag full !!!!! PMSL
yep you can freeze them :)
To freaze, I would cut them open, scoop their bits into ice cube trays then freeze them. Once frozen I would put the passion cubes (oo doesn't that sound naughty) into zip lock freezer bags or a container and they should keep for a month or 2.
Lemon juice done this way is good for 6 months+ but I usually use it all before 6 months is up so not sure how long.
Oh and those little bits of wine left in the bottle can be frozen like this to add to sauces etc when you need them, saves opening a whole new bottle... then again open the new bottle and enjoy drinking the leftovers ;)
Ha ha that does sound naughty Kerry!
Think I'll be making some passion cubes tonight!! And great idea for wine as well although we rarely have any left! ;)
mmm, and with the passion cubes, wack them in fruit punches.
Oh yeah Kazbah, or milk shakes... yummo, with a dash of vanilla essence and some nice malt.... oh I am craving some now and I'm not even pg.
Thanks Brooke!
Kerry I made your passionfruit ice cream, it was soooo yum! I'm so addicted to ice cream right now!
I might try some more of your recipes this weekend! :D
No Lis, walk away from the passionfruit & put it in a bag at my front door!!!!!!! LOL... Enjoy hun! ;)
We like it best on top of vanilla ice cream, mixed in with fruit salad or my kids just eat them straight from the fruit with a teaspoon. We freeze excess in ice cube trays. We had loads of vines as a kid and when we got a glut my Mum would put out a box on the street with a sign saying "Free - Help Yourself" which was always appreciated by our neighbours.
The man next door does that with his lemon tree... well the excess lemons at least.
Lis - how yummy is that ice-cream!
Ok off to buy some on the way home from work tonight.
Ha ha Tracey! Well my passionfruit vine is still flowering so I think that means that there will be more fruit coming?? If so I'll save you some as I already have enough passion cubes to last me a long while!!! If I had nice neighbours I would share with them but that's another story lol!
Kerry I absolutely loved the ice cream, perfect in this weather! Now to decide what to make next........!!
Make the mousse, make the mousse.
