Tangy, floral, and impossibly silky, passionfruit curd is one of those condiments that makes everything it touches taste more special. The ingredient list is refreshingly short — just fresh passionfruit pulp, eggs, sugar, butter, and a pinch of sea salt — which means you know exactly what's going into every spoonful. That simplicity is a big deal when you're trying to avoid the synthetic preservatives that sneak into so many store-bought curds and fruit spreads. The double-boiler method keeps the heat gentle and controlled, coaxing the eggs and butter into a luscious, glossy texture without any risk of scrambling. Whisking in cold butter cubes at the end is the secret to that ultra-smooth, melt-on-your-tongue consistency. Strain it for a perfectly refined finish, or leave the seeds in for a little rustic texture — either way, it sets up beautifully after a short rest in the fridge. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or spoon it straight from the jar; this curd earns its place in the rotation.

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.
