Ingredients
- 400 g pitahaya (dragon fruit)
- 350 g sugar
- 100 g water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit
Slice the pitahaya into quarters and carefully remove the skin. Cut the flesh into small pieces. - Blend the Fruit
Place the fruit pieces in a blender and puree until smooth. - First Boil
Pour the blended fruit into a saucepan, add the sugar and water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes to soften the fruit. - Strain the Mixture
Set a fine mesh sieve over another saucepan and pour in the cooked mixture. Press the solids with a spoon to extract as much pulp and juice as possible. Scrape off any pulp clinging to the outside of the sieve and return it to the saucepan. - Second Boil
Return the strained mixture to medium heat and simmer for an additional 5-6 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. Stir in the lemon juice.
Note: The syrup should remain pourable and not overly thick, allowing you to drizzle it easily over ice cream, desserts, or any other treat you fancy.
