Lilikoi — Passion Fruit Preparations

Overview

Lilikoi (passion fruit, Passiflora edulis) is the Hawaiian tropical fruit that appears everywhere: lilikoi butter (a curd-like spread served on toast and pancakes), lilikoi juice (part of POG), lilikoi shave ice syrup, lilikoi cheesecake, lilikoi vinaigrette, and lilikoi cocktails. The fruit grows wild on fences and hillsides across the islands. The flavour is intensely tart, aromatic, and tropical — it cuts through richness the way li hing mui cuts through sweetness.
