Fruit

Flesh

Passion fruit flesh is the gelatinous, seed-studded pulp lining the shell—the part spooned raw or cooked into sauces. It is intensely aromatic, tart-sweet, and juicy rather than meaty; a little goes far in creams, sorbets, and vinaigrettes. The seeds are usually left in for crunch unless a smooth curd or drink is wanted. Fold into yoghurt and meringue desserts, simmer briefly into coulis, or strain for clear juice. Acid sets dairy and egg mixtures—useful in curds—but can split some creams if boiled hard. Frozen pulp keeps the flavour for off-season baking.
