Campari and Passionfruit Sorbet
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
1 cup water
7 ounces sugar
15 passion fruits
1 wine glass (5 ounces) Campari
Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. Halve the passion fruits and scoop out the flesh, seeds and juice using a spoon. Stir this up--you can pass it through a sieve to remove the seeds, but quite frankly I think that's palaver (nonsense). I like the seeds. Mix the passion fruit with the Campari and sugar syrup in a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set. Try to stir it around every 1/2 hour if you remember. Serve on its own, with some seasonal fruit, or in a cone with some vanilla ice cream.

Passion Fruit Tarts
Filling:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup passion fruit juice (see Note)
Crust:
2 1/4 cups allpurpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup lard, cut into eight pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 tablespoons ice water
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pistachio nuts, for garnish
For the filling: In the top of a double boiler, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and passion fruit juice until the mixture is thick and will hold a line, about 12 minutes. Transfer the doubleboiler insert to a larger bowl filled with ice and cold water, and stir occasionally until cool. The mixture will be quite thick.
For the crust: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, the salt, lard, and butter and rub together with the tips of your fingertips until the mixture resembles small peas. Add the remaining 1/4 cup flour and bring together into a rough mass. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time and press into the mixture with a fork or your fingertips just until the mixture adheres into a dough. You may not need all the ice water. Press the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 2 hours.
To assemble the tarts: Roll the dough out to 1/8inch thick and, using a small plate or a cardboard template, cut the dough into six 4 1/2inch diameter rounds. Transfer the rounds to 2 baking sheets, prick all over with a fork, and freeze for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425/.
Bake the tart bases for 12 to 15 minutes, until slightly golden. Using a large heavy spatula, transfer them to a rack (they crumble easily) and, when cool, spread with a nice thick layer of the passionfruit curd almost out to the edges of the pastry. Scatter the pistachio nuts around the very edges of the tarts and serve. Yield: 6 servings
Note: Unsweetened passion fruit juice, which is very sour, is sometimes available frozen. Or, in season scoop out and, if desired (it is not necessary), strain the pulp of 1 passion fruit for each 2 tablespoons juice required.
If you use regular storebought passion fruit juice, which has been sweetened, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for each 1/2 cup of the juice.
-----------------------------------
Sangria Blanco
2 bottles dry, white wine
2 cups sliced fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, melon, peaches, orange slices)
4 cups fresh fruit juice (pear, papaya and passionfruit)
2 ounces brandy
Soda water, to taste
In a large jug, combine the wine and the fruit. Allow mixture to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours. In a large punch bowl, blend the mixture with the fruit juices, brandy, ice and soda water to taste.
