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 fruit in the produce section of local markets or supermarkets. If fresh fruit is unavailable, high-quality frozen pulp is a common alternative; adjust sugar if the pulp is already sweetened.
Preparation method
- Slice the passion fruits in half
- Scoop out all the pulp with the seeds and transfer it into a saucepan
- Add the sugar and water to the pan along with the pulp
- Place over medium heat 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 serves as a superb choice for pairing with desserts or dishes that require a bright, zesty, and refreshing kick. The method is straightforward, focusing on reducing the fresh fruit pulp until the perfect silky consistency is achieved.
