Growing our own~ fresh paw paw


Golden paw paw picked fresh from the tree, they are delicious and vitamin packed which is especially helpful at this time of year with coughs, colds and flu's going around.

We were surprised when this little beauty from our front yard tree also had a pretty shape on the inside. We hadn't seen this perfect flower shape before.

Click here to read a story from my childhood about eating paw paw here on Norfolk Island.

In the meantime, its time to make fruit salad with paw paws, passionfruit and bananas (plun) are beginning to be plentiful again.

Pop some paw paw squares and banana rounds on a skewer, roll in coconut add a vanilla yoghurt and fresh passionfruit dipping sauce.
 Not just for lunchboxes...good enough for desserts or pot luck dinner parties.
