At the moment we have an abundance of passionfruit and lemons, the passionfruit are huge and the lemons are very juicy. With Tony and Chelsea coming up for the weekend to continue weeding out the fishbone fern (a weed in this part of the world) that has infested a large portion of our bushland, I thought I would make a little picnic for them using some of those passionfruit and lemons.
So I made lemon curd and passionfruit curd and bought some little pastry cases to finish off.
This passionfruit curd recipe used 11 passionfruit and 4 eggs, all produced right here, lovely.
Chelsea is working hard!
I also made a Turkish feast for Saturday night but I didn't take any photos, needless to say the three courses finishing with Baklava which had honey, lemon juice and cloves in the syrup was unbelievably amazing!! It was a great weekend. : )
Well, you certainly do it with style down there.
ReplyDeletePicture #7 looks like something Martha Stewart would put together. I don't think I've ever seen such a formal presentation put together for a refreshment break from weed pulling. Table cloth, tea pot and all.
Your fish bone fern up here is commonly known as a Boston Fern and goes from $12.00 - $15.00 a container at the local plant nursery.
Just proves the old saying that "One person's trash is another person's treasure."
Loved the passion fruit snacks you whipped up from your indigenous supply. Really looks tasty.
Good show !
