Sure. I make a simple syrup - say 2 cups water and 2 cups Turbinado sugar. While that's heating up I just cut the passion fruit (I'd try to use about 10-12 for that amount, but they vary greatly in pulp content) and dump and scoop all the pulp including seeds into a bowl. When the syrup has boiled I add all the pulp and seeds, mix, and reheat slowly to a boil. As soon as it begins to boil I turn the heat off and let it sit, stirring occasionally. I let it cool for about 2 hours stirring every 20 minutes or so. Then I pour it through a wire mesh strainer (to get the seeds out) into a mason jar. If I think I won't be using it very quickly I normally add some white rum to help preserve it.

So:
2 cups water
2 cups Turbinado sugar
10-12 passion fruit (more if they're small or mainly empty)
strainer
mason jar
rum

2 hours work (hardly any of it actually working).

I posted a few pictures a few pages back on this topic thrad.
