Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup passion fruit pulp
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granular erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Cut each passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Discard the empty shells.
Strain the pulp through a sieve to separate the seeds from the juice. Use a spoon to press down on the seeds to extract as much juice as possible. Collect 1 cup of juice and pulp.
In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp and juice with 0.5 cup of water over medium heat.
Add the erythritol sweetener and stir until it is fully dissolved.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture and stir gently.
In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a cornstarch slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the passion fruit mixture, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and reaches your desired consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, or serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
