Ingredients

⅓ cup Passion fruit pulp about 2 pieces of fruit
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water

Instructions

Wash the fruit. Slice fruit in half and scoop the passion fruit pulp into a medium saucepan.
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.
Turn off and remove from heat. Allow the syrup to cool. The mixture will thicken slightly and be a deep golden hue.
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.
Transfer to a glass storage container with a lid. Store in refrigerator until ready to use; up to 1 week.
Serve with favorite beverages.

Notes

Can I Use Frozen Passion Fruit Instead Of Fresh Passion Fruit In This Recipe?

If fresh Passionfruit is unavailable in your area you can substitute it with frozen Passion fruit.

You can also order canned Passion Fruit pulp online from Amazon. Make sure to get Passion Fruit pulp and make sure it's not a cocktail, drink, beverage or syrup. Those have added sugars and will be much too sweet for this recipe.

For thicker syrup. If you like a thicker syrup to pour over pancakes or waffles, simply double the amount of sugar (2:1 ratio) and proceed with the recipe as instructed.

Storage
Store in a clean, airtight glass or plastic container in the refrigerator and use within a 1 week. Because this syrup is infused with fresh fruit, high moisture level and fruit pulp it has a shorter shelf life than plain sugar syrups due to natural plant compounds and moisture.

Signs You Should Throw It Out
Do not taste if you see:

Mold growth, even tiny spots
Bubbling or carbonation
Slimy texture
Sour, alcoholic, or yeasty smell

These indicate fermentation or microbial growth.
