Look at our passion fruit, harvested over the last few days!

You absolutely must try some soon!

in Brazil we grow up with those, and I could not imagine not enjoying its taste...

you can eat it straight from the fruit, with a little spoon to scoop out the flesh, seeds and all - you can make drinks with vodka or the Brazilian sugar cane distillate - pinga - you can make passion fruit curd, you can make cakes, you can use it in cheesecake toppings, so many things you can do with them... you can simply top yogurt with it...

 
I still remember the Passion Fruit-orange juice combo I had a LONG time ago in Hawaii. . .

VEry wonderful flavor!

 
I'm not sure how to answer this.

We planted one in our back yard, and it grew beautifully up an oak tree, and deposited all its fruit in the neighbor's yard before dying.
A bird or squirrel must have dropped some seeds in our front yard, as this one was a volunteer which attached itself to a nearby tree and started giving fruit last year, quite a few years after it appeared. because all our citrus trees have citrus greening and aren't producing fruit, we have been casual about feeding them, and forgot to feed the passion fruit, which we decided would like citrus food, so the fruits aren't as full as we would like, but they have great flavour.

So no, not hard to grow, but they choose their place. You should be able to grow one where you are - we regard the $2.99 fruit we find in the store as a seed packet. Just remember it climbs like crazy. Let me know if you want some seed from last year's crop - I'll mail it to you. (I'm also contemplating planting seeds near the fences of the school I teach at.)

 
We eat it fresh, make passion fruit mousse, and put it in fruit salad.

We had fruit salad for dessert on Memorial Day, and I had forgotten how delicious it is with fresh passion fruit. Passion fruit ice cream is amazing, too. In South Africa one can always buy passion fruit yoghurt, one of the things I missed most (except we call it granadilla yoghurt in SA), so I was thrilled when Chobani started selling it a few years ago.
