We just picked up a passion fruit vine at the local farmers market for $20 and it's loaded with green fruit about the size of tennis balls.. I'm under the impression that they should turn purple when ripe since this is the purple variety.. Anyone got one of these that can clue me in? I don't want to wait too long if they're ripe and don't turn color until they're taken off the vine.. One of the fruit is already dimpled like it's past ripe -- it was that way when we bought it last week.. Comments??
