- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 2 (14-oz) packages frozen guanabana (soursop) purée such as Goya brand, thawed (3 cups)

- Bring sugar and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until reduced to about 2 cups, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer syrup to a bowl and cool completely.
