PASSION FRUIT MARTINIS

BLUEBERRIES AND KIWI WITH PASSION FRUIT BUTTER

Steps:

• A few hours before you serve the dish, make the pear chip garnitures. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, stirring together water and 1/2 cup sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Slice the pear very thinly with a mandolin or a knife and dip in simple syrup. Lay on a silpat and bake in a convection oven on low, 225 degrees F, until dry and crisp about 60 minutes. Keep in an airtight container.
• Place the passion fruit juice, orange juice, and sugar in a saucepan and simmer it to reduce by 1/2. Remove it from the heat and mount (whisk in) the cut up the cold butter a few pieces at a time. Keep warm while preparing the fruit but not too hot or the sauce will break and the butter come out of suspension.
• In red wine glasses or other large stemmed glasses, divide up the blueberries, kiwis, strawberries, and pears evenly amongst 6 glasses. To serve drizzle them with the warm passion fruit butter sauce and place a pear chip in the center.

PASSION FRUIT SOUP

Steps:

• Bavarian Cream: In a saucepan, heat the passion fruit puree, orange juice, and sugar until dissolved. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sponge the gelatin by slowly sprinkling it over the water. Once it has absorbed the liquid, add it to the hot juice and stir to melt and combine. Strain the liquid into a bowl and place it over an ice bath. Stir it constantly with a rubber spatula and when it just starts to set, fold in the whipped cream. Pour this into soup plates or wide bowls and chill.
• Sauce: In a separate bowl combine the fresh orange juice, lemon juice and passion fruit puree. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
• To serve the soup, remove the bowls of Bavarian cream from the refrigerator. Pour a thin layer of the sauce, about 1/8-inch thick, over the Bavarian cream to cover the top. Garnish with raspberries, half blueberries and kiwi slices standing up around the perimeter of the soup bowl and place a scoop of sorbet in the center.

SOUR PASSION GUMMI ENTRAILS

Steps:

• Place the passion fruit puree, applesauce and 1/4 cup corn syrup in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart pot. Turn the heat to medium-low and warm up the puree. Meanwhile, mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with the apple pectin. When the puree is warm, whisk in the sugar and pectin mixture. Whisk to combine. Turn up the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the remaining sugar and corn syrup. Cook, stirring continuously, until a candy thermometer inserted into the pot reads 223 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Spread the mixture over a silicone baking sheet. It should be about 1/8-inch thick. Allow to set, about 3 hours. When set, cut 5-inch strips and dredge them with sugar. Keep in an air-tight container at room temperature.

PASSION FRUIT TRIFLE

Steps:

• Beat the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk double cream until it is softly whipped. Fold mascarpone mix into the whipped cream, then set aside.
• Cut 8 passion fruits in half, scoop pulp into a small bowl and stir in the orange juice. Slice the crusts off the brioche and cut each slice into quarters.
• Lay the brioche (or cake) in the bottom of a trifle dish or glass bowl. Top this with a half of the passion fruit pulp and half of the peach slices, then spoon over half of the mascarpone cream. Repeat the layers once more (keeping a few peach slices back), topping off with a layer of mascarpone. Use the pulp from the last passion fruit and the reserved peach slices to decorate. The trifle will keep in the fridge for up to a day (decorate just before serving).
