How to make passion fruit puree
- cut The passion fruit is halved and hold the fruit firmly during cutting, preventing the pulp from escaping onto the cutting board. (Photo 1)
- scoop The pulp becomes a fine strainer placed on top of a cup. Use a spoon or spatula to squeeze the juice out of the seeds. (Photo 2-4)
- If the seeds still show pulp, pour the seeds into the blender with a little water and pulse them a few times. (Photo 5-6)
- pour Use a spoon to press the pulp to leave the broken seeds behind. Add this pulp to the cup. (Photos 7-8)
Recipe Tips and Variations
- If you want a sweet puree, simmer ½ cup sugar and 1/2 cup water for about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature and combine puree with a simple syrup.
- Other tropical fruits blend well with passion fruit. Citrus, pineapple and coconut milk all taste great.
- You can use a fine strainer made of nylon or steel to ensure you get everything except the seeds.
- Passion fruit seeds and skin are edible and have health benefits (about collagen). So, if you don’t mind the texture, you can blend the whole fruit until the pulp is fine enough to skip tension without worrying you.
Make-ahead instructions
You can easily create passion fruit puree in advance and store it in the fridge or freezer later. I want to freeze the pulp in an ice cube tray and put the frozen cubes in a frozen bag. That way I can take out what I need for a single serving. It should last for 3-4 months without burning the freezer.
