Passion Fruit Mead

Many of our viewers have requested a Passion Fruit Mead recipe. So, Derica got to growing some Passion Fruit and we made a mead from them.

What is passion fruit? Passion fruit is a vine best known for their almost otherworldly looking flowers. This plant is native to southern Brazil and grows really well for us here in Florida. The fruit is a pepo, a type of berry that is round to oval with either yellow or dark purple skin once mature.

We Made a Passion Fruit Mead with 101 Passion Fruits! 101 passion fruits, collected, cleaned, scooped, frozen and thawed… all in a mead. Watch the video to see how we made it step by step.

If you have any questions on Passion Fruit Mead, please leave them in the comment section of the video on YouTube and Brian himself will get back to you as soon as he can!

It’s been a whole year since we made this interesting beverage. Did it improve? Often, time will improve a mead or wine, but not always. We’ve seen it happen. Will this be one of those times? Only one way to find out!
