What is Passion Fruit syrup?
Passionfruit syrup is a flavored simple syrup, a liquid sweetener used in beverages and desserts. It is typically made with a 1:1 ratio of suagr to water, simmered until fully dissolved.
The ratio can be changed to 2:1 to make a richer thicker syrup, ideal for pancakes and waffles.

Step By Step Instructions
STEP 1. Prep. Wash the fruit. Slice fruit in half and scoop the passion fruit pulp into a medium saucepan.
STEP 2. Cook. In medium saucepan, combine water, passion fruit, and sugar. Place unlidded saucepan over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes to bring mixture to a boil. Reduce temperature to low. Allow syrup to simmer for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally to not burn your syrup; until sugar is dissolved.
Turn off and remove from heat. Allow the syrup to cool. The mixture will thicken slightly and be a deep golden hue.
STEP 3. Strain. In a wide-mouth pitcher or bowl, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing on the seeds to extract as much liquid as possible. The mixture reduces down to about a cup.
