Ingredients
6 passion fruits
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
Where to find ingredients
Find fresh passion fruits in the produce section of local supermarkets or greengrocers. If fresh fruit is unavailable, high-quality frozen pulp is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Halve the passion fruits
- Scoop out all the pulp and seeds and place them into a saucepan
- Add the sugar and water to the pan with the fruit pulp
- Place over the heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved
- To achieve a thicker texture, wait for the mixture to come to a boil
- Turn down the heat to a low setting
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired thickness
Observations
This purée makes a fantastic addition to desserts or any dish that calls for a refreshing, citrusy kick. The method is entirely focused on gently reducing the fresh pulp until it reaches your preferred consistency.
