31 Days of MOO No. 28 - MOO Passionfruit Cordial


Oh how I wish I had a passionfruit vine or two in the backyard. I love passionfruit - just to eat, in a sponge cake, in flummery, in yoghurt - any way I can get it really.

I especially love passionfruit cordial. It such an old-fashioned type of drink, reminds me of my childhood and how the summers seemed so hot and endless, of cousins coming to stay and picnics at the river.

I usually make one or two batches of this beautiful drink each year and then guard it jealously, bringing it out on special occasions.  I make it with either chilled soda water or plain mineral water and float mint ice cubes in each glass.

MOO Passionfruit Cordial

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup fresh passionfruit pulp

Step 1. Place the sugar, water and lemon juice into a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly. Stir in the passionfruit pulp. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool.

Step 2. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve into a jug, pushing the pulp through with the back of a spoon. Discard seeds. Pour syrup into a sterilised airtight bottle and seal. Place in the fridge to chill.

To serve put some ice cubes in serving glasses. Add passionfruit cordial to taste and top with sparkling water.

  1. We do have a passionfruit vine, and I have never thought of making passionfruit cordial. What a lovely idea. Thank you for the recipe.
