Instructions

  1. Wash the passion fruit carefully, cut them in half and scoop out the pulp with the seeds.
  2. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and lightly scrape the seeds with the tip of a knife.
  3. In a large sterilized glass jar, pour in the rum, pulp, vanilla, cinnamon, zest and sugar.
  4. Close the jar and shake it until the sugar has fully dissolved, then let it macerate out of the light for at least 3 weeks.
  5. Shake the jar from time to time, then strain through a muslin or coffee filter before bottling.

Variations and tips

Banana version. Add 2 very ripe bananas cut into rounds for a softer, more fragrant maceration.
