Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionLightly oil baking pan.
Sprinkle gelatin over water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and let stand 4 minutes to soften.
Heat gelatin over medium-low heat, stirring, until dissolved.
Stir in 2 cups sugar until dissolved, then stir in lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, washing any sugar crystals down side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water.
Reduce heat to medium-low and boil, uncovered, without stirring, 13 minutes (watch carefully so that mixture does not boil over).
Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes for bubbles to dissipate. (Skim any foam that remains after 5 minutes.) Stir in passion-fruit purée (do not scrape bottom of pan; leave any dark bits that stick).
Pour into baking pan and let stand at room temperature until set, at least 12 hours.
Run a sharp knife around edge of gelatin and invert onto a cutting board.
Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cut strips into 1-inch pieces.
Just before serving, gently toss gelées in a bowl of sugar to coat, brushing off excess.
