Passion Fruit Caramel Sauce

This recipe is an accompaniment for Mascarpone Cheesecake with Roasted Cashew Crust.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 2 cups

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/3 cups frozen concentrated passion fruit juice cocktail, thawed (part of 12-ounce container)

Preparation

  1. Combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, and corn syrup in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns medium amber color, swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in butter, then passion fruit concentrate (mixture will bubble up). Simmer over medium-low heat until color deepens to rich brown and caramel thickens enough to coat spoon thickly, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm slightly before serving.)
