It's the last week of school in Hawaii, and following our family's tradition, I am gathering ingredients to make our kids' teachers some home made jam. This year we're making papaya-lilikoi jam. I find papaya jam a little bland, adding lilikoi juice or lime juice give it some zest.

lilikoi |
It can be difficult to find lilikoi at the farmer's market, but luckily for me I have a friend who has lilikoi vines in her back yard (in fact, I should try growing some too!).
Lilikoi are a passion fruit, native to South America and brought to Hawaii in the early 20th century.Labels: farmers market, Hawaiian food, life on Maui
