Farm to Table: Passion Fruit Kalamasi Basil Juice & Apple,Chicken Lanzones Canape

I have always been vocal in encouraging people to cultivate their own food. Growing up in a family of farmers, both Mama & Papa were agriculture graduates. And we may have taken a different path in choosing our college degrees but the "farm" has been a part of our life.
Passion fruit, basil and lanzones are all grown in our garden at home. Blessed to be living in the bountiful town of Tupi, South Cotabato, where fruits, vegetables and flowers grow all year round.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup passion fruit juice 
1 cup sugar
bunch of basil leaves
1 cup kalamasi juice
PROCEDURE:
1. Combine passion fruit, kalamansi and sugar, then bring to boil.
2. As it boils, scum or bubbles form on top, slowly and carefully scrape it off.
3. Add the basil leaves, boil it for a few more minutes.
4. Cool the juice concentrate and store it with the basil leaves. Simply add water to the concentrate to enjoy a healthy passion fruit kalamansi juice.

Apple, Chicken & Lanzones Canapes
INGREDIENTS:
cooked chicken breast
1 cup Japanese mayonaise
2 tbsp. cream
chopped celery stalks
cubed Fuji apples
pinch of salt
sliced French bread
softened butter

2. In another bowl mix the chicken,celery and apple. Then add the mayonaise mixture.
