Passion fruit is a tropical vine fruit. In Puerto Rico it was very common to see vines wrapped around the light posts in rural areas of the island, but nowadays the fruit is scarce so we often have to turn to concentrates or pulp. Passion fruit can be consumed fresh or used to prepare ice creams, sorbets, juices or pastries. At home I usually use concentrates to prepare juice or frozen treats. I also use it in dressings and sauces for fish. This time I want to prepare an ice cream to help fight the intense summer heat.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Passion fruit is usually sour so I recommend testing the sugar.
  • tip 2
    To prepare the inverted sugar syrup, you'll need 2 lbs of sugar, 2 cups or water, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Boil the ingredients in a pot. Remove when it begins to boil. Use a spoon to remove the white foam. Boil again and let cool completely before using. You can keep in a sealed and sterilized container.
