HI Kill Devil,

I start by putting all 14 ounces of passion fruit pulp in a pan/pot turning the heat on low.

As it melts, I slowly add up to seven ounces of sugar. I stir till it is well incorporated and add an additional 3 ounces of water.

If I'm not feeling too lazy, I might grate a very small amount of lemon or lime peel into the syrup.

The syrup doesn't necessarily have to boil, but once the ingredients are sufficiently incorporated, I let the syrup stand to cool. If I used lemon/lime peel, I strain the syrup.

I bottle with a 1/2 ounce of Wray and Nephew to extend the life. I used to worry about the rum changing the flavor of the syrup, but I found that after a day the rum lays back quite a bit and the passion fruit flavor remains bold.

Anyhow, that's how I do it. I would gladly accept any suggestions for improvement.
