CITRUS fruits are the jewels of winter and by happy coincidence passionfruit are in season now too! I grew up with a passion fruit vine in the back yard and as a result baulk at the price they go for. You’ll notice, though, the wrinkly sad little fruits have become smooth and purple and enticingly heavy.
Mandarins too are ready to go and such variety! I use afourer or honey murcott rather than the baggy skinned imperial (a better choice if using the zest) as their juice is richer in colour and yield. To those lucky people who HAVE passion fruit growing and have surplus … get in touch and I’ll make it worth your while!
