Passion Fruit Syrup Recipe
I love making my own passion fruit syrup! It's easy and absolutely delicious. You can use it for so many things, from desserts to cocktails!
Servings: 6
Calories: 66kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups water
- 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup , can use agave nectar or honey too (see note)
- 1¼ cup passion fruit pulp with seeds , about 14-16 average sized ripe passion fruit
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- dash black pepper
- 1-3 tablespoons Mezcal , optional for some smokiness (I used 2)
Instructions
- Add the water and sweetener to a pot. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Boil over medium heat an additional 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, clean out the pulp from the passion fruit.
- Remove from heat and add the pulp, turmeric and pepper. Mix around to incorporate.
- Allow to steep for 2-3 hours so the flavor gets infused.
- Strain over a mesh sieve into a glass jar, squeezing out the juice as you go. I save the pulp and seeds and freeze them into ice cubes to use in smoothies.
- Save and use with cocktails, over ice cream or mixed with water as a juice!
Notes
- Adjust Sweetness: You can adjust the sweetener to meet your preference. Use less for a tart syrup or more for a sweeter one. I sometimes keep it on the tarter side so that it is more versatile for other recipes, and then add sweetness as needed.
- Avoid Waste: I like to save the pulp and seeds and freeze them into ice cubes to use in smoothies.
- Save Time: There is no need to take the seeds out of the pulp initially. You're going to strain everything anyway and they are edible.
- Serving: This makes 1 ½ cups, serving size is ¼ cup.
