Ingredients

  • About 18 fresh passion fruit, or 1 cup frozen passion fruit puree
  • ½ cup<

Method

If using fresh passion fruit, cut them in half and scoop out the pulp and juice. Strain the mixture and reserve the juice and seeds separately.

In a nonreactive saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat. When the sugar dissolves, cook another 3 minutes, then add the passion fruit juice or puree and stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
