Ingredients

  • ½ Cup sugar or allulose monk fruit sweetener
  • ½ Cup filtered water
  • 3 ripe passion fruits ~⅓ cup passion fruit pulp

Instructions

  • If using passion fruit pulp, defrost & measure it then skip to step 2. Make sure to buy wrinkly passion fruits (they're the ripest), then cut each passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp into a glass.
  • Mash the mixture lightly to break down the pulp, but not hard enough to break the seeds, then strain the mixture and set aside the passion fruit juice (this took me about 5 minutes).
  • Next, put the water and sugar into a small pot over medium heat, and stir it constantly with a silicone spatula until the sweetener has dissolved (less than a minute).
  • Then let it heat until just starting to simmer, set a timer for one minute of simmering, and turn off the heat when the timer goes off. Immediately pour in the passion fruit juice and stir well, then move the pot off the heat to a cool burner and let it get to room temperature (about an hour). Do not cover it or the syrup will end up too thin; the cooling time also lets more of the water evaporate out.
  • Once cooled, pour your passionfruit syrup into a glass jar, close the jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 6 months. For more flair, feel free to add some of the black passion fruit seeds back in.

Notes

Defrosting Passion Fruit Puree: I highly recommend using passion fruit puree rather than the juice, and if you use the frozen stuff you may want to use an extra tablespoon of it.
Swapping Sweeteners: You can use these ratios with a number of other granulated sweeteners to make a passionfruit simple syrup, but it won't work with powdered sugar or stevia due to the consistency. Some other sweeteners you could try it with are brown sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, panela, and jaggery.
Corn Allergies: If you have any issues with corn, make sure to buy your allulose from a company which specifically doesn't source their allulose from corn, as much allulose is manufactured from corn. However it's also found in small amounts in figs, raisins, wheat, maple syrup and molasses.
At roughly five times the price of white sugar, allulose can be a hard sell. But for those who choose to splurge for it, allulose has none of the inflammatory effects, doesn't cause tooth decay, has no calories, and has no effect on insulin.
