Mango Passion Fruit And Banana Punch Recipes

MANGO, PASSION FRUIT AND BANANA PUNCH

Steps:

• Peel ripe mangoes and remove flesh from flat, oval seeds with a sharp knife.
• Cut flesh into cubes and transfer to a blender.
• Add passion-fruit purée or nectar, bananas and rum to blender and blend to a chunky purée, about 30 seconds.
• Pour into four 12-oz. glasses.
• Garnish each with an orange slice or lime slice or kiwifruit or sugar cane, if you like.

BANANA PUNCH

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Cool in the refrigerator.
• Put 1 banana and about 1 cup pineapple juice in a blender; blend until smooth. Repeat until all bananas are pureed into pineapple juice; stir into the pot with the simple syrup. Add orange juice concentrate and lemonade concentrate to the pot; stir. Divide the mixture into smaller containers and freeze until mostly solid.
• Put frozen mixture into a large punch bowl. Thaw until slushy, but stirrable. Stir lemon-lime carbonated beverage into the punch bowl. Garnish with orange slices.

BANANAS WITH MANGO & PASSION FRUIT CARAMEL

Steps:

• In a small pan, bring the orange juice and 140g/5oz of the sugar slowly to the boil. Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp into the pan. Stir in the mango slices and when the mixture has reached boiling point again, remove the pan from the heat.
• Peel the bananas and slice each one diagonally into five. Pour the lime juice over the banana slices and set aside. Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the base of a large heavy-based frying pan. Place the pan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and turned into a golden caramel. Toss the bananas into the pan and leave for 3-4 minutes, turning once.
• Turn the heat down and stir in the passion fruit and mango mixture. Heat for a further 2 minutes then spoon into bowls. Serve warm with a sprinkling of lime zest. Can be made up to a day ahead and chilled, then gently reheated before serving.

MANGO PASSION FRUIT CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
• Mix the flour and brown sugar in a bowl, and cut the butter into the flour-sugar mixture with a pastry cutter or two table knives until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and stir well.
• Place the cubed mango on the bottom of the greased baking dish, and spoon the passion fruit pulp over the mango. Stir to mix and evenly distribute the fruit in the dish. Drizzle lime juice over the fruit. Sprinkle the fruit with the oats topping, making sure it is fully covered. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top has browned and the fruit is tender, about 20 minutes.
