Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup honey or sugar
- ½ cup passion fruit pulp or puree
Instructions
- Blend - If using fresh passion fruit, extract the pulp first. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or jar and set aside. Use a sharp knife to cut the passion fruit in half, careful to not spill the nectar. Transfer the pulp into a blender carafe or food processor and pulse a couple times. This will loosen the seeds from the pulp. Do not over blend or too many of the seeds will break up into the mixture.½ cup passion fruit pulp or puree
- Strain - Pour the pulp into the sieve to strain. Gently stir the pulp with a spoon and press it against the wire strainer to separate the seeds from the puree. Set aside and keep some of the seeds for later.
- Heat water and sugar - Add sugar or honey and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir and allow the mixture to simmer until honey or sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the passion fruit pulp or puree and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional minute. Transfer the syrup in an airtight container and add some seeds back into the container for decor. Use for desserts, tea, cocktails, and more and store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.½ cup water, ½ cup honey or sugar
