Bright, tangy, and impossibly silky, this passionfruit curd is the kind of thing you'll want to spoon onto absolutely everything. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just real fruit, eggs, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt — so you know exactly what's going into every jar. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid the synthetic flavor compounds that sneak into so many store-bought curds and fruit spreads. The double-boiler method is what makes this recipe work so beautifully: gentle, indirect heat coaxes the eggs and pulp into a lush, glossy curd without scrambling or curdling. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end gives it that luxurious, melt-on-your-tongue texture that no artificial shortcut can replicate. Strain it for a smooth, elegant finish or leave the seeds in for a little rustic texture — either way, it sets up perfectly after a chill in the fridge. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a tart filling, and you'll wonder why you ever reached for a jar with a suspiciously long ingredient label.

Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Set a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the passionfruit pulp, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute.
