  • Most passion fruit juice /or concentrate you will find on the web may taste bitter. Best thing to use in place of it is just plain old Welches Passion Fruit Juice you find in the supermarket. It’s not pure passion fruit as it’s blended with a little grape juice as well. But it does the job & it tastes great!

  • Where would one get โ€œmarching cherriesโ€?

    I love every single one of your recipes and Iโ€™ve tried most of them. Thanks for sharing your love of food.
