Alison is a goddess
That’s right. Alison *last name mumbled so I can keep her all to myself* is a goddess of all that is good and thoughtful and tasty and beautifully designed and… and… she’s overwhelmed me this time.
(Speaking of overwhelmed, thank you all for your wonderful congratulations and encouragement. It means so much to know I have your support. What a community we have going here, hunh?)
So the wonderful Alison, upon learning that I’ve never tasted passionfruit, made passionfruit curd for me. Yep. From the fruit. From scratch. Just for me. And put it in a spectacular little jar. And then wrapped it up with such care you wouldn’t believe, along with Australian Fruit Spice, which I can’t wait to try, and mailed it from Sydney. A goddess. See? I didn’t exaggerate.
What I’ve done to deserve such kindness, I have no idea. I’ve been ordered to boil it for safety, then refrigerate. When it’s solid again, I get to eat it. My first taste of passionfruit! I predict an empty jar by Sunday.
So much giddiness and passion on this blog lately.

Oh my. You’ve NEVER tasted Passionfruit!! How on earth did you get through life this far. It would have to be one of my all time favourite fruits – to the point that my godparent’s vine is fair game whenever it is in fruit!!
You are going to love this experiance.

You are going to love the combination. Passionfruit has this tangy sweetness that’s unforgettable, and made into curd…all that butter…wow! Try it on something fairly clean-flavored, like a crumpet. Mmm.

How sweet! It looks really tasty and the jar will be great for something else when you’ve polished it off by Sunday. What a good friend!

Do you have any advice for me on getting my book to editors? Do I need an agent? I would rather do it myself. Can you fill me in on the process?
