Barbadine (Giant Granadilla) Punch

The pleasant scent of a ripe barbadine is one you can’t miss at all. It perfumes the whole room it is in with its lovely, fruity, aroma. But today we’re not going to be using the Barbadine (giant granadilla) for its pleasant scent; we have a better use for it! …and one you would enjoy I assure you….

Passion Fruit Juice

The passion fruit ( Passiflora edulis) has long been a favourite in Trinidad and Tobago. We love to use it to make juice or wine. I must say though, when you drink passion fruit wine don’t be fooled by the fruitiness; you can get intoxicated quickly as I have experienced.
