Passion Fruit Orangeade Recipes

ORANGEADE

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; cook at a boil for 3 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar, and creating a simple syrup.
• Combine simple syrup, 6 cups water, orange juice, and lemon juice in a large pitcher; refrigerate until cold.

PASSION-FRUIT ORANGEADE

Steps:

• Slice the passion fruit in half over a bowl, catching any juice. Set a fine strainer over the bowl. Using a spoon, scoop flesh into strainer; press down on seeds to extract all juice; you should have 1/4 cup juice. Reserve 2 tablespoons seeds; discard remaining seeds.
• Combine passion-fruit juice, orange juice, simple syrup, and 1/2 cup cold water in a large pitcher; stir to combine. Fill pitcher with ice. Pour into individual glasses, and garnish each glass with 1 teaspoon seeds. Serve.

SIMPLE SYRUP FOR PASSION-FRUIT ORANGEADE

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath. In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 10 minutes. Transfer syrup to a bowl, and set bowl over ice bath. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chilled. Store the syrup in an airtight container, refrigerated, up to 2 months.

ORANGE & PASSION FRUIT TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 20 x 24cm cake tin with baking parchment. Cream the margarine or butter with the caster sugar using an electric whisk until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Sieve in the flour and fold it in. Add the orange zest and juice, fold that in as well, then pour into the prepared tin, smoothing over the top. Bake for 25 mins until golden. A skewer should come out clean when inserted in the middle.
• Remove the cake from the oven, leave for 5 mins, then remove from the tin, peel away the parchment and leave to cool on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the topping by mixing the mascarpone, icing sugar, orange juice and vanilla until smooth. Cut open the passion fruit, scoop out the seeds, then add half to the mix, reserving the rest.
• Use a palette knife to spread the topping over the cooled cake, then drizzle over the remaining passion fruit seeds.
