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 the fruit and vegetable section of major supermarkets. For a substitute if fresh fruit is unavailable, high-quality unsweetened frozen pulp can be used, though the texture and brightness of the seeds will be lost.
Preparation method
- Halve the passion fruits
- Scoop out all the pulp with the seeds and transfer it into a saucepan
- Add the sugar and water to the pan with the pulp
- Place over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved
- Wait for the mixture to begin simmering to achieve a thicker texture
- Reduce the heat intensity
- Continue to cook, 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 bright, citrusy, and refreshing lift. The method is uncomplicated, focusing on gently reducing the fruit pulp until the perfect texture is achieved.
