In celebration of Memorial Day, Dan & I had no plans - except he suggested we should do what countless other folks around the country would be doing today: Grilling burgers and eating them with fries and some pie.
Using some great ground beef from Skagit River Ranch, and delicious pepper bacon made by our friend Gerald, we cooked up some tasty bacon burgers on the grill outside - it's first meal of the season. We also put some jalapeno cheddar and red onion on top. And while Dan was attending to the grill outside, I made up a batch of sweet potato fries.
Earlier in the day, we worked together to make a Passionfruit Pie, using a Key Lime Pie recipe as our guide.
Key Lime Pie is essentially only lime flavored thanks to a 1/2 cup of lime juice. We figured we cold swap out the lime juice for passionfruit juice, and get a similar result but with a decidedly Hawaiian twist.
What we didn't consider is that lime juice is significantly more potent than the passionfruit juice we can get here in Seattle, which is largely watered down with pear juice. The resulting pie was good, but much more of an egg custard pie than a passionfruit pie.
