Granadillas

They belong to the passion fruit family but have a very delicate and sweet flavor, far from the acidity of passion fruits. The color of their juice is different as well—nearly transparent—nothing in common with the intense orange or yellow of their cousins. This juice is so sweet and mild, that in Peru it is the first fruit juice given to babies after breast milk (an ounce or so at mid-morning is energizing and they love it). To make it, place the pulp of some granadillas in a sieve and press with the back of a spoon to release the juice contained around each seed.
