PASSION FRUIT PUNCH
I had a bunch of fresh passion fruits that I processed with some white rum and Truvia to make "passion fruit-ade" on a camping trip. The rum acted as a preservative - not intended to get drunk. When I got home, I still had a lot left over which stayed in the refrigerator for weeks. So, today, I wanted to use it up. I wanted to...

- 2. Strain out the crushed seeds if you want to do so. I don't.
- 3. Mix it all together in a punch bowl with ice.
- 4. Taste for sweetness and adjust as needed. Some ginger beers are WAAAY too sweet for my taste. Others are balanced. Stir gently if you add a sweetener so not to disturb the carbonation too much.

Steps:
- For the base, crush the biscuits in a bag with a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor. Add the butter and stir. Line a 20 x 30cm cake tin with non-stick baking parchment. Tip the biscuit mixture in and firmly press down. Chill.
- Mix the passion fruit flesh with the juice. Place the gelatine in a small bowl of cold water to soak. Pour the flesh and juice into a saucepan and heat until hot. Squeeze the water out of the gelatine, add to the pan and stir until dissolved, then remove and pour into a bowl.
- Add the milk and loosely whipped cream and fold together. Pour into the tin and chill until firm, about 2 hrs.
- For the coulis, purée 1 mango with the lime juice and sugar in a food processor, then stir to dissolve the sugar. Chop up the other mango.
- To serve, cut the traybake into squares. Top each one with the coulis, some chopped mango and passion fruit.

Tips:
- Choose ripe passion fruits: Look for passion fruits that are wrinkled and heavy for their size. These fruits will be sweeter and more flavorful.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice will give your poncha a bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Use a good quality rum: The rum is the main ingredient in poncha, so it's important to use a good quality rum. Look for a rum that is smooth and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the poncha: Overmixing the poncha will make it cloudy. Stir the ingredients together gently until they are well combined.
- Serve the poncha immediately: Poncha is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and the less refreshing it will be.
Conclusion:
Poncha is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your poncha sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give poncha a try.
