RECIPES FOR PASSION FRUIT

 

PASSION FRUIT THRILL

Serves 6-8

8 Organic Passion Fruit
Unsweetened Organic Orange Juice
Juice of 2 Organic Lemons
175g Organic Caster Sugar
1oz Gelatine (2 x 25g) or vegetarian alternative
500g Fromage Frais


Using a sharp knife, cut open the passion fruit one at a time and scoop out contents into a sieve over a measuring jug. Rub as much juice through as possible, leaving the seeds in the sieve.

Bring the huices up to 150ml with the orange juice and pour into a small pan. Strain the lemon juice into the pan. Add the caster sugar to the juices and put the pan over a gentle heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Sprinkle in the gelatine and stir until completely dissolved. Turn the fromage frais into a bowl and gradually add the warm juices, stirring all the time. Then add about half of the pips from the sieve and pour into a 1.2-1.5 Litre mould.

Put in the fridge for several hours then umould by either sliding a knife around the edge or dipping mould briefly into hot water. Turn over onto a serving plate and give it a good shake to release.

Keep in fridge until ready to serve.
