Granadillas

Postby Dan10 on Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:52 pm

Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem with cooking granadillas. These are the giant granadillas not passion fruit. I have managed to grow some after a number of unsuccessful tries. I can remember my father growing them when I was a child and my mother making granadilla pies which I loved. Now I am getting the fruit and I have only vague ideas of how they were cooked.
Here are a couple of questions. How the heck do you remove the inner skin that the seeds are attached to? I seem to have to cut half the flesh away to get rid of it.
Has it got to be removed? or will it soften in the cooking process and be edible?
I have been removing the seeds and stewing the flesh with a handful of sultanas, some sugar, and some lemon juice. Then putting the seeds back in. It's good, but not as good as Mum used to make. \
Is there anyone with better recipes and tips?
Thanks,
Dan
