Notes
Definitions:
- Passion Fruit Juice = mixture of fruit puree, water, and sweetener
- Passion Fruit Puree = liquids that remain after seeds have been strained out
- Passion Fruit Pulp = all the bits (liquids, seeds, and all) you can scoop out within the cut passion fruit.
- Passion fruits are ripe when the skin is wrinkly.
- Simple syrup can be made with any sugar of your choice: granulated sugar, brown sugar, or turbinado sugar. You may also choose to steep spices or herbs into simple syrup such as cinnamon stick or fresh mint leaves.
- Other sweetener of choice such as agave syrup or honey may be used in place of simple syrup.
- Keep leftover passion fruit juice in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The juice will separate over time. Stir or shake to bring juice back together.
- Freeze passion fruit juice for longer storage. I suggest using an ice cube tray. Transfer frozen cubes to a freezer storage bag. Keep frozen for up to 6 months.
