Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Cut ripe passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp with seeds. Strain the pulp through a fine mesh sieve to collect the juice, discarding the seeds, to make 1 cup.
In a medium saucepan, combine the passion fruit juice, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering passion fruit mixture. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or serving dish and let it cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for later use.
Serve the passion fruit sauce over cakes, ice creams, pancakes, or use it as a glaze for poultry or seafood dishes.
