Ingredients
6 passion fruits
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh passion fruits at local produce markets or greengrocers. Look for fruits that feel heavy for their size with slightly wrinkled skin for the best juice yield.
Preparation method
- Cut the passion fruits in half
- Scoop out all the pulp and seeds, transferring them into a saucepan
- Add the sugar and water to the pan with the fruit pulp
- Heat over the stove until the sugar has completely dissolved
- Wait for the mixture to come to a boil to help achieve a thicker texture
- Reduce the heat intensity
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency
Observations
This purée is an excellent choice to pair with desserts or dishes that call for a citrusy, refreshing lift. The method is simple, focusing on simmering the fruit pulp until it achieves a perfect, spreadable, or drizzling consistency.
