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 at local markets (masoko) or the fresh produce section of supermarkets. Look for fruits with slightly wrinkled skin, as these are typically the ripest and sweetest.
Preparation method
- Slice the passion fruits in half
- Scoop out all the pulp and seeds into a saucepan
- Stir the sugar and water into the saucepan with the fruit pulp
- Place over the heat until the sugar has fully dissolved
- Wait for the mixture to reach a simmer to achieve a thicker texture
- Turn down the heat to low
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency
Observations
This purée serves as a perfect enhancement for desserts or dishes that require a bright, refreshing, and zesty citrus finish. The technique is straightforward, focusing on simmering the fruit pulp until it achieves your desired consistency and depth of flavor.
