Betsy, see
http://grow.ars-informatica.ca/plant.php?L=640&nm=Passiflora%20incarnata
for propagation information.  Seems as though you want to propagate the
plant with the desirable fruit asexually (cuttings); seedlings may not
share the fine fruit quality of the seed parent.

Hi Betsy,
    Tomatoes have a similar problem with a kind of jelly around each
seed. 
I ferment them for a couple of days and the jelly is gone.  Wash
thoroughly 
and dry on some newspaper.  I'm not sure about storage of Passiflora
seed. 
You might find something on the Internet.
    Good luck.
