Ingredients
- 12 panama passionfruit
- 80 ml orange juice
- 100 g caster sugar
- 3 sheets (titanium-strength)
Resting time: 4 hours
Instructions
Cut the passionfruit in half and scrape out the pulp into a bowl. Set aside 12 of the best half shells and use your fingers to scrape out the inner membrane. Place the shells into a tray, pressed close together for stability, and set aside.
Place the passionfruit pulp into a blender with the orange juice and pulse until as smooth possible.
Strain the juice through a fine strainer and measure out 400 ml liquid. If you don’t quite have enough, add a little water. Pour the juice into a small saucepan, add in the sugar and warm over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Have your gelatine sheets in cold water, softening, then squeeze out the water and whisk them into the passionfruit juice.
Transfer the liquid into a jug, then pour the jelly mix into the reserved shells. Allow to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the fridge to fully set.
Serve with a dainty spoon for jelly scooping.
