6 passion fruits
2 tablespoons caster sugar
4 tablespoons water

Preparation method
- Cut the passion fruits in half
- Scoop out all the pulp with the seeds and transfer to a saucepan
- Add the sugar and water to the saucepan with the pulp
- Place over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved
- Wait for the mixture to come to a boil for a thicker texture
- Turn down the heat
- Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency
Observations
This purée is an excellent choice for pairing with desserts or dishes that require a citrusy, refreshing lift. The preparation is straightforward and focuses on reducing the fruit pulp until the ideal texture is reached.
