The Giant Granadilla

My host family has a granadilla tree in the back yard, next to where we hang our laundry. For the past month, it has been producing a bunch of delicious fruits. For those of you who know Spanish, Granadilla in the dictionary is passion fruit but here passion fruit is called Calala and Granadilla refers to a large green fruit.  According to wikipedia, assiflora quadrangularis, is the largest of the passionfruits, plants of the genus Passiflora (I included the wikipedia path below).
The fruit is the size of a small watermelon or a large honeydew. It is green on thh the outside and white on the inside with small black seeds. My family frequently makes fresh fruit juice with them. My family mixes the granadilla with juice of a bunch of oranges and adds a lot of sugar (something very common here). They add ice, which they buy whenever they make a fresco. We do not typically have ice. It is definitely a luxury. Each small bag costs 2 cords (8 cents).
