Ingredients
- 4 ripe passion fruit (ripe passion fruit are very wrinkly)
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and remove from heat.
- Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop the seeds into the sugar water (simple syrup). Stir and let the passion fruit steep in the simple syrup for about 2 hours.
- Place a fine mesh sieve over a glass measuring cup and pour the contents of the saucepan through the sieve. Do not press on the seeds -- you want the simple syrup to be clear and if you press, it can become cloudy.
- Transfer the simple syrup to a clean storage jar (I like the ball canning jars). Refrigerate. Simple syrup will last up to two weeks, refrigerated as is or you can add a tablespoon of rum to the syrup to store it a little longer.
