Cut one of the wrinkled purple orbs in half and the inside is faintly ridiculous: a spoonful of orange jelly studded with crunchy black seeds, tasting so intensely sharp and floral that a little perfumes a whole cake. The fruit is native to South America, carried across the world by Portuguese and Spanish traders, and it found an especially happy home in the kitchens of Australia and New Zealand, where a passionfruit is the near-obligatory finishing note on a pavlova and a summer of it drips off the vine in suburban back gardens.</p>Sat, 03 Aug 2024 16:15:00 +0000
