PASSION FRUIT : Use the Rind to Make a Tasty Jam - Weird Fruit Explorer

[@AJ-pr8ym]

I live in Hawaii. Lilikoi (passionfruit) is everywhere. My favorite dessert in the whole wide world is Lilikoi Dream. Requires a bit of prep, but it's easy. 1. Cut fruit in half and scoop out the pulp including seeds. 2. Whirl in a food processor until completely pulverized into a smooth puree. 3. Place whirled pulp in several layers of cheesecloth and SQUEEZE the hell out of it which gives you the orange-yellow pulp with very few black bits of seeds. Discard the cheesecloth and seed bits. The amounts of the following ingredients isn't important; the ratio is. It's 1/3 passionfruit puree, 1/3 sweetened condensed milk and 1/3 unwhipped heavy cream. Lightly blend all ingredients together. Place in small ramekins or shot glasses or those tiny plastic "tasting" cups. Refrigerate until cold. You only need a bit of the Lilikoi Dream dessert - it's rich, heavy and definitely delicious. Aloha!

I'd love to see a full line up of the Passiflora fruits

[@starshot5172]

That would be sooo many... but probably not all are edible

[@spicefreak4726]

That looks almost as solid as my loquat chutney. Had to cut that stuff with apples to bring the pectin down because I was losing cutlery in it.

[@sdfkjgh]

@Spicefreak: That reminds me of a story by Sir PTerry: www.angelfire.com/weird2/athenia/stories/pterry/sea.htm (if you find it hard to read, just highlight all)

[@InspectFL]

You're welcome as always. As my younger, more rare trees mature I'll be able to send you more fruits. That was very interesting, I'll be making that when I pick my next batch for sure! I think I'll use an immersion blender to smooth the pectin mix out.

[@genericwatermelon372]

Would you ever consider selling them? I very rarely find passionfruit anymore

[@lindaahlgrim1331]

Passion fruit only grows on a vine...let us see your tree...

[@renatoferreira1399]

"quince cheese" is know by "marmelada" in Portugal. Quinces in Portugal are called "marmelos", the native portuguese Queen Catherine of England (Catherine of Braganza) loved the jam made from quinces (called "marmelada") that she used to eat in Portugal as an afternoon snack with tea, so she tried to import quince trees into England in order to have "marmelada", unfortunately the quince trees did not adapte to the Climate in England, so they tried to do the Marmelade (named after the quince jam "marmelada") with bitter oranges, so that the queen could eat with her 5 o'clock tea, an habit that quickly spread throughout England. Hope you liked a bit of history :D

[@Failedprodegy42]

These used to grow wild all over our property in Mississippi. It was one of my favorite summertime treats!👍

[@JuliusUnique]

7:45 "1 cup of sugar" LOL... that was a big cup

[@Tamuz95]

A lot of sugar is added to make the jam more solid, if you're using something with a lot of pectin you can use less sugar

[@subliminalpain]

Passion Fruit and Rum great combo.

[@freespirit2194]

How timeley I picked the first two of my passionfruit today and looking at so many on the vine I was thinking what a waste to not be able to use the skins. Thank you! Much blessings :)

[@maryweng9789]

I used the processed rind to make pound cake. It turned out delicious with a floral aroma.

[@PicaMula]

The yellow ones are very common in Brazil, I have two passion fruit plants full of it in my yard. They make very good juice too, never tried the jam tho guess I will :)

[@papaya2957]

at my house, in australia we have soooo many purple passionfruits... THEYRE DELICIOUS!

That one with the lines on it looks really neat!

[@oranlichtman2021]

Sir, this was an exceptional episode today, loved it. I appreciated the ploop at 6:41 👏🏾

[@dadovitchnic]

It's great to make ice cubes out the pulp. They just about store forever and are a great flavour addition to your drinks.

[@alr.3137]

Bro I can't express how much joy your channel brought me Jared ❤️ 🙏

[@IQzminus2]

Passion fruit curd, like lemon curd is pretty magical. So incredibly good! Just don’t add any lemon zest too it, because then the citrus flavour becomes too strong

[@DeathMetalDerf]

I tried my first, fresh, purple passion fruits a couple of weeks ago, from Wegman's, and I LOVE THEM!!!! I just cut them open and go at it with a spoon Of course it's now mid September, and they don't ave them around more, so now I'm sad... But I have something to look forward to this summer!

You are the best. I live un the forest but you teach me so much things...

[@rondohunter8966]

Long ago my mom and aunt decided to make watermelon rind preserves. I was a kid and had no idea it could be done, but they spent most of the day boiling water, adding the cut up pieces us kids had made of the rind and added a LOT of sugar. Eventually it was done and the next day (after cooling in the fridge all night) we went at it...somewhat. It was quite thick and sticky but once you got the spoon out, bent and all, the taste of the treat was worth even bit of effort.

[@TheGreatDrAsian]

Wewwww man you're really staying busy with these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@WeirdExplorer]

Can't go outside, might as well cook some rinds.

[@baubojan4862]

you can reheat the jelly with more water and it will be a more fluid/less concrete state with the next refrigeration. also when warm, try it over ice cream.

i have never had passionfruit but man hawaiian punch is good. i'm old enough to remember it being poured from metal cans at birthday parties 😌 good times.

[@JTMusicbox]

Was thinking it reminds me of your quince episode, then you said the same. Great video! I never knew you could use the rind like that.

[@jordandcv123]

passion fruit butter is like the best thing to do with passion fruits

[@royrdze]

Uuuuuh this with a Brie sounds soooooo good :3

[@ralphmueller3725]

also maybe push the pulp through a strainer and get the seeds out?

[@elmadicine]

I love passion fruit, any time I see them in a store I get a few and just eat the pulp raw. next time I see them I'm getting a bunch and making this for sure

[@gaefrogge5806]

my vines finally started fruiting, this looks like an awesome way to preserve all the fruit ill have soon

[@benny_lemon5123]

Everyone should be buying your shirts, imho. I bought 2 a while ago, and they're some of my faves. They have a really good, long fit!

[@pasikhawm7419]

Use the tender shoots/leaves as vegetables:- in stews or stirfried, very good in pork stew and beef curries

[@shiggityx2]

Thanks for this! I'm growing passion fruit right now but didn't know the rinds could be useful.

[@censusgary]

It seems you could also add those rinds to other kinds of jam, just to thicken them.

[@valentinventures]

Post covid, you need to go try the different varieties in South America. So many passionfruit there. Banana passionfruit, passiflora quadrangularis. Also in eastern North America they have a native passionfruit called the maypop, I’ve heard it’s pretty good.

[@griffinc3263]

I’ve made this! Similar recipe, but i only used half of the rinds and I only kept a quarter of the seeds for some texture.

[@saffronkiwi7008]

Love that classical piece in your vids !

[@iainclark8695]

Advice: Larger batches are easier to work with. Practice making jams until you get a feel for it. Stir regularly around the sides of the pot. And also test your jam on a cold plate throughout the process.

[@thefunnyfunpeople]

Passionfruit is my favorite. I have a passion fruit plant here in NYC, but I have only gotten 2 fruits from it so far...i typically use it for baking, and it pairs especially well with chocolate.

[@justesaying1229]

The plant needs lots of sunshine for good fruiting.

[@buddy77587]

Fabulous! I had no idea

[@ashadh300]

Thanks for sparking my imagination😉

[@caligreen4208]

Magnificent! 👏 how you got the pectin naturally was genius! The jams thicc consistency was like orange 🍊 marmalade, simply fantastic!! If you didn’t want is as thicc , just don’t put in all the rine , just add half , but I like the result you had way better !!!

[@Kuichio]

I grew up in rural Mississippi, and we would have passion flowers grow on our fence line. My grandmother would take the flowers and pinch off one "arms," skip one, then pinch off, another. She said the result was a ballarina. These flowers were so beautiful that you may easily miss the green hollow fruit beneath. When I a teen, I found out that they were passion fruit, which I largely only knew of from pictures of them on juice labels. Sadly, dispite paying special attention to the plant one season, I never opened a pod to find any ripe fruit (apparently). The pulp was translucent white around black seeds, and the couple I tasted were very tart, though not acrid or "green" tasting at all. I assumed they were not ripe, as they didn't taste like the juice blend at all (good luck finding pure passion fruit juice lol). But never did I notice the fruit changing color as they fell out of season, so perhaps they were ripe after all. Anyway, in your research, have you heard of a variety like this, or is it that I missed my chance somehow? P.S. I love what you do, and enjoy learning about new things I wouldn't otherwise. Your channel really shows that our society's concept of fruit is dominated by supermarkets, and I am glad you take the time to show that there are more fruits in the world than 10 or so, plus a tomatoe. lol

[@griffinc3263]

It might be a maypop

[@diannaodman2847]

i have 7 passion fruit plants growing from seed 6 yellow and one purple

[@shallmaddocks4690]

Hot tip: taste as you go and drip some of the hot jam on something cold to get a feel for consistency

[@elenakhusanova2814]

[@WeirdExplorer]

thanks!

[@zrobertez]

You can probably mix in a tiny bit of boiling water to thin it out

[@TMIvey-gk4mw]

I think the term I have seen is quince paste so you’re essentially making a fruit paste. I was given some passionflower seeds So I am interested in seeing what I can make of what I grow. So thank you very much for posting this video! Your level of detail is very helpful.

I say Passion fruit tastes like tart pineapple and unripe strawberries mixed with a little bitterness from lemon rind.

Lol when I had my first passion fruit I was expecting it to taste like the passion fruit juice you can find at an American hotel breakfast, I was wrong! Ps. That jam looks delicious.

[@imnotgoodwithnames8502]

The fruit itself has an extremely powerful flavour, so to actually enjoy it you either eat it extremely slowly or make a simple juice by diluting it with a lot of water and sugar(the same way you make Lemon juice) or just make a jam, cake, pie, etc., but you just have *to be in the mood* for eating the fruit by itself

[@PowerTom286]

Great idea, Jared. I'm gonna try it.

[@WeirdExplorer]

[@arnoldmmbb]

looks very tasty

[@ritschardt]

Passionfruit is the national Australian fruit (ham and pineapple pizza is the national dish) we always eat the seeds , I chew them up. The popular variety is Nelly Kelly and they are very easy to grow.

[@MrChickenselects]

Mix passion fruit with cubed watermelon its great

[@buggy9124]

Goodness, just seeing you eat that fruit makes me salivate in sympathy. They really are unbelievably sour, but still delicious.

[@Khyze]

I have a plant that makes yellow ones (they are quite common here, the purple ones are extremely rare, I never saw one in real life), the wrinks are in all store bought ones, but my plant does them smoothly, actually, when they are wrinkled they are usually bad, the juice also comes with different colors, sometimes it looks quite orange/reddish like the purple one on the video (it is usually "yellow", might be orange but really bright)

[@whatno5090]

I remember the first time I realized passionfruit were being sold at my local grocery store. I picked one up, quickly ran home, and instantly ate pretty much all the pulp at once. It was... shocking, to say the least. But I don't regret it one bit! I'm a huge fan of really sour stuff; in fact, I think that I prefer the passionfruit even to the cherimoya, which I had the pleasure of eating recently. Passiflora is fantastic!
