Creating a Passion Fruit Hard Cider brings a tropical and exotic twist to the traditional hard cider. Here’s a recipe for you to make your own homemade Passion Fruit Hard Cider:

Ingredients:

• 1 gallon apple cider (unfiltered for added flavor, if available)
• 4-5 passion fruits
• 1 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 packet of cider yeast
• 1 campden tablet (optional, for sterilization)
• Water (if needed)

Instructions:

1. Sterilize Equipment:

• Ensure all your equipment (fermenter, airlock, stirring spoon) is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. You can use a campden tablet according to the package instructions for sterilization.

2. Prepare Passion Fruits:

• Cut the passion fruits in half.
• Scoop out the pulp and seeds into a bowl.

3. Create Cider Base:

• In a large pot, combine the apple cider, passion fruit pulp and seeds, and brown sugar.
• Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Stir occasionally.

4. Cool Mixture:

• Allow the cider mixture to cool to room temperature.

5. Add Yeast:

• Once the cider mixture is cooled, sprinkle the cider yeast over the surface.
• Stir gently to ensure the yeast is well distributed.

6. Fermentation:

• Seal the fermenter with an airlock.
• Place it in a cool, dark place and allow it to ferment for 1-2 weeks. Check for bubbles in the airlock to ensure fermentation is active.

7. Rack (Optional):

• After the initial fermentation, you may choose to rack the cider into a clean vessel to remove sediment. This step is optional.

8. Bottle:

• Once fermentation is complete (when no more bubbles are visible), you can bottle the cider. Use sanitized bottles and caps.

9. Age and Carbonate (Optional):

• Allow the bottled cider to age for at least a few weeks. You can carbonate the cider naturally by adding a small amount of sugar to each bottle before capping.

10. Chill and Serve:

• Once the cider has aged to your liking, chill it in the refrigerator before serving.
