Lois, I bought the passion fruit at the FTI-AANI Saturday market at the FTI complex in Taguig.

Hi Marketman! There are several types of cloches being sold at SM Makati now. Last week, I purchased a tall cloche with a thick abaca rope handle for about Php1,700. Love it! They also have the classic one as you pictured above.

MM, there’s a wholesaler for glass vessels and ceramics near Quezon Ave. They moved there after being tossed out of Manila Seedling. Let me know if you need directions.

@Millet… and no, i don’t think the passionfruit would sweeten once they ripen – i think there are varieties that are naturally sweet, and some that are just tart.

As it turns out, the yellow variety (as in this case) produces much larger fruits that are invariably tart.

For a virtual universe of passion fruit uses, check out Google for “receitas de maracujá.” The seeded gelées are particularly eye-catching. Unfortunately, it calls for a pulpy type of passion fruit.

MM, i got really nice cloches at regalong pambahay – i usually go to their branch at the shangri-la mall, or at their warehouse in pioneer st. (pasig). they also have nice cake stands and all sorts of things that you never thought you absolutely had to have. their supplies go fast, so hurry. and no, i don’t think the passionfruit would sweeten once they ripen – i think there are varieties that are naturally sweet, and some that are just tart. and they will ripen if left exposed in room temperature for a few days.

i have a really nice passionfruit vine (passiflora) climbing on my terrace that has beautiful large red flowers with a ring of black bracts in the center. i read somewhere that the name comes from that particular ring supposedly looking like the crown of thorns on Jesus’ head, and the deep purple color of most of the flowers.

I never know if the banana trick works to quicken ripening because I’ve never bothered trying it. Perhaps you would like to give it a go?
