How can I make this with fresh passionfruit? Would I need to dilute the pulp?
Judging from the consistency of other nectars, such as apricot, I believe you can replicate it with fresh passionfruit strained and pressed through a somewhat coarse sieve, to remove the seeds but keep as much of the pulp as possible. I like the crunch of the seeds, so depending on the dish I’m making, I return some to the cooked sauce. Leave a note and tell us how this works for you.
