Turns out my passion flower plant is gonna give me fruit this year ππππ
We've had a bumper crop here in Puerto Rico, where it is known as "parcha". Elsewhere in the Caribbean you will hear it called maracuya or chinola, too. They are not ready to harvest until they fall off the vine. Even then, they are not at maximum sweetness. They decay from the outside, so let the fruit dessicate some; even collapse and turn black and maybe a little mold won't hurt (though not strictly necessary!).
