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.

Ingredient Notes:

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.

Storage:

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.
