There are certain fruits that offer more enjoyment than simply eating as is. Passion fruit is one of them. And because it is inherently more tart than sweet, it is a fruit that works well in both sweet and savoury preparations. Like most people, my favourite way to enjoy passion fruit is in a drink, but every time they are in season, I also make a syrup/sauce with them to use in a variety of ways. Passion fruit sauce offers not only lots of natural flavour but tartness and sweetness that are both pleasing to the palate.
One of the custards featured in last week’s column was finished/dressed with passion fruit sauce. I have received many requests about making the passion fruit sauce and ways to use it.
