My first time making passionfruit syrup this weekend. I used Frozen Chiquita Passion Fruit Pulp:

1:1:1 - sugar:water:pulp by weight. Half the pulp mixed in while the sugar dissolved, half added afterwards off the heat.

So one sachet gave me about 400 ml of syrup (this is a 750ml bottle):

The result - very sweet, with an intense flavor of passionfruit. The color and consistency are almost exactly the same as the BG Reynolds, but in blind taste tests, all my family preferred the home made.

Also makes a great Trader Vic's Grog :)

I'll definitely be making this in future instead of buying ready made, as I do with all simple syrups and grenadine. (Orgeat, however, is more trouble than it's worth). Will be trying Falernum next.
