Pruning my PF vine and found these. Enough to make a small batch of syrup.

Editted to add another pic and some narrative.

I cut the fruit in half and ended up with about a dzn. useable fruit. Most were too ripe-completely hallow or moldy. The best ones were just barely starting to wrinkle and felt heavy with pulp. The raisin looking ones were useless. I scooped the pulp from the good ones into a saucepan with equal parts of bottled water and gran. sugar. I did force the pulp through a sieve to remove the billions of seeds before I put the pulp in the saucepan.Easy-peasey. Brought it all to a low boil and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes stirring now and then. I only got about a cup and a half of product but it is sublime. The hardest part was getting enough fruit together at one time to make the effort worthwhile. I have been making my syrup using frozen pulp which is mo betta than any commercially bottled product that I have tried.
Cheers
