Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

lilikoi harvest

It went from this fragrant beautiful flower...

growing on this hearty vine...


which became this...


that we then harvested!
This is my first tropical crop - lilikoi, or passionfruit. The kids eat them plain after biting open the thick shells. They are a bit sour, but so good. I like to add a small squeeze of agave nectar to take off the edge. We have so many that we are sharing them with our friends. The vine was loaded with green fruits when we left for our summer trip in June. I wasn't expecting to get such a long crop, but they are still coming strong, and it's almost September. Ah, the miracle of nature...
